ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY
Ian Hunter
[C][C][C][C][C][C][C][C]
Well the [C] time's getting hard for you little girl,
I'm a [G] hummin' and a strummin' all [D] over God's world,
[C] You don't remember when you got your last meal,
[G] And you've forgot just how a [D] woman feels.
[A#] You didn't know what rock 'n roll was,
[D#] Until you met a driver on a Greyhound bus,
[A#] I got there in the, nick of time,
[D#] Before he got his hands across your state line. [C]
[C] Well in the middle of the night on the, open road,
And the [G] heater don't work, and it's [D] oh so cold,
[C] You're getting tired, baby looking kind of beat,
[G] The music on the street, [D] knocks you off your feet.
[A#] You didn't know how rock 'n roll looked,
[D#] Until you caught your sister with the guy from the group,
[A#] Halfway home in the, parking lot,
By the [D#] look in his eyes she was giving what she got.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe. [G]
[C] Woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep,
From the [G] blood on my amp and my [D] Les Paul heat,
[C] I can't leave you home 'cause you're runnin' around,
My [G] best friend told me you're the [D] best trick in town.
[A#] You didn't know that rock & roll burned,
[D#] So you bought a candle and you learned and you learned,
[A#] You got the rhythm, you got the beat,
[D#] Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe. [G]
[C] [G][D] [C] [G][D]
[A#] I didn't know you'd got a rock'n roll record,
[D#] Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket,
[A#] You told me I was the only one,
[D#] And look at you now, yes it's done, yes it's done.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
You know, [C] ahh, ahh, ahh, once bitten twice [F] shy babe.
Repeat to fade.
