Bm                       A        Bm
Esther be the one that shoots a machine gun

Bm
Whether you like it or not

                           A            Bm
Midnight or daylight, stay out of her sight

Bm
Cause I heard she's one heck of a shot
[Verse 1]
  Em7            F#m7  Em7              F#m7
Esther be the one,    she's the only one

       Em7
She'll get you with her gun

         F#m N.C.                   Bm
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Verse 2]
Bm
And you will feel her love bullets

         A               Bm
When you look her in the eyes

Bm
There ain't no way to escape

                                 A     Bm
And that's when her fever will materialize

Bm
But it ain't no unfortunate fate
[Chorus]
  Em7            F#m7 Em7               F#m7
Esther be the one,    she's the only one

       Em7
She'll get you with her gun

         F#m N.C.                   Bm
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Instrumental Break] Bm A Bm A Bm Em7 F#m Em7 F#m Em7 F#m Bm [Bridge]
A                                       Bm
It ain't nothing but it's something, so deal

Em
Don't get branded

                      F#
Cause there are no in reel
[Verse 3]
       Bm
If she gets you in a corner

      A                Bm
Don't let her mess you round

Bm
And don't let her blow you away

Bm
If you can't dig on Esther

    A              Bm
You turn and leave town

Bm
Cause if you think she's bad

Bm
You ought to see her sister
[Chorus]
Em7              F#m7          Em7             F#m7
Esther's only one,   but she's not the only one

       Em7
She'll get you with her gun

         F#m N.C.                   Bm
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Outro] Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm
