D                      
Now a country boy named Shorty
And a city boy named Dan, had to prove who could run the fastest
   E              A
to win miss Lucy's hand.

    D                            G
Now Dan had all the money 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.
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 1x #2.
     D                           
Now, Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
                                      E
He made up his mind ol' Shorty, would end 

          A
in second place.

    D           
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin' he left 

G
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
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 4x #3.
    D                                  
But Shorty wasn't worried,
there was a smile upon his face.
          E                  A
cause old Lucy had fixed the race.

    D                                   G
And just like that old story, about the turtle
and the hare.
     D                    
When Dan crossed over the finish line,

   A                    D
he found Shorty waiting there.
CHORUS 2x:
           G
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.
That's what miss Lucy said.
           D
Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across..

     A                D
it's you that I wanna wed...
