[Intro]
Cadd9 G/B G/B (2x hammer on C) Dsus2 x4
[Verse 1]
D Now a country boy named Shorty D And a city boy named Dan D Had to prove who could run the fastest A To win Miss Lucy's hand D Now Dan had all the money G And he also had the looks D But Shorty must have had something boys, A D That can't be found in books
[Chorus]
G Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across G That's what Miss Lucy said D Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across A D It's you that I wanna wed
Cadd9 G/B G/B (2x hammer on C) Dsus2
[Verse 2]
D Now, Dan had been in training D About a week before the race D He made up his mind ol' Shorty A Would end in second place D And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' G He left Shorty far behind D And Shorty heard him holler out A D Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!
[Chorus]
G Well, cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across G That's what Miss Lucy said D Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across A D It's you that I wanna wed
[Solo]
Cadd9 G/B G/B (2x hammer on C) Dsus2 x4
[Verse 3]
D But Shorty wasn't worried D There was a smile upon his face A 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race D And just like that old story G About the turtle and the hare D When Dan crossed over the finish line A D He found Shorty waiting there
[Chorus] (x2)
G Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across G That's what Miss Lucy said D Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across A D It's you that I wanna wed
[Outro]
Cadd9 G/B G/B (2x hammer on C) Dsus2 Oh yeah, It's you I wanna wed.
Cadd9 G/B G/B (2x hammer on C) Dsus2 (x3)
