*This song, and the construction of it's tab, is dedicated to my "pistol" Michele*
Capo on 2nd fret.
Intro:
G, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is simutaneously played)
[Verse 1]:
.
I love how you curse when I wake you up
.
And sweetly demand that I fill your cup
.
I follow your cool gunpowder glare
.
Honey, you lay me there
[Chorus]:
. (lift note to open )
You’re the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems
. (lift note to open )
But you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my bets
.
Oh, I put all my money on you
Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj. (while harmonica is played)
[Verse 2]:
.
When I’m in the dark girl you bring me [to] light
.
I love how you’re almost always right
.
So keep boxing my ears when I sew them shut
.
Baby, you sure are tough
[Chorus]:
. (lift note to open )
You’re the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems
. (lift note to open )
But you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my fears
.
Honey, I feel so safe around you
Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is played)
[Verse 3]:
.
To the man who taught me anything
.
He said “a hard-headed woman is what I need”
.
To help me to always do my best
.
Baby my life is blessed
[Chorus]:
.
You’re the girl of my dreams
Darling, please wear this ring
. (lift note to open )
You’re an angel through and through
Time to lay down my life
. (strums into ?)
Honey I’d do it gladly for you...
Time to lay down my life
.
Honey I'd do it gladly for you
