John Hiatt – Trudy And Dave (Guitar)

D
Whatever you do, don't follow that shot,

D
she rang those words out with all she got

D
With the baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet,

D
well, he thought about following anyway

D
But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,

D
In his three day beard and his red man hat

D
Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans,

D
while that baby just sat there lookin' mean

G         D
Trudy and Dave

G                   D
They're out of their minds

G         D
Trudy and Dave

G                    A      D
They're out of their minds

G    D
Well, David put a match to a Lucky Strike

D
And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,

D
It made him feel a little mysterious

D
'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"

D
So he thought about them and those shots ringing out

D
And other things he shouldn't be thinking about

D
Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean

D
And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean

D
Didn't mean to do it baby, but they did it for love

Bm               G                A
The same shot his Daddy heard before him

Bm                G               A
A shot that can really blow you away

Bm                G            A
And when it is fired his mama told him

Bm                G          A            D
"David, you'll follow it to your grave"

D
Well, Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids

D
Had a baby of their own and you heard what they did

D
In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out

D
Shots heard all over the world no doubt

D
'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day

D
'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet

D
Who shot up an automatic teller machine

D
Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean

D
Man, they’re crazy

D
But they did it for love
