By Cory Branan
Capo: 2 Fret
Intro: G D C D (4X)
G D C
In a town where you can sum up every girl with just
D
one sentence
G D C D
Give or take the subject or the verb
G D C D
She shows up like the devil said penance
G D C D
Won't nothin' ever be clear no more
G D C D (2X)
G D C D
She got hired on down at the Last Chance Diner
G D C D
She works all the same shifts as me
G D C D
I've never been one for too much conversation
G D C D
But now I choose my words so carefully
G D C
'Cause the angle of her cheek is the math of
D
persuasion
G D C
First time you saw the ocean, she's got tucked
D
behind her knee
G D C
She is swallowing lightning and she is spittin'
D
thunder
G D C D
Waftin' California, reekin' Tennessee
G D C D
She is waftin' California and reekin' Tennessee
Pre Chorus:
C
Now I wanna tell her how I feel
D
But each time that I start
G D
My tongue wraps like a tether ball
C D
Six times around my heart and I say
Chorus:
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C D
It's Cory from work callin' to say
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C
I was wonderin' what you was doing, a little later
D
on today
G D C
Just wonderin' what you was doing, a little later on
D
today
G D C D (2X)
G D C
Now I'm curious to see just where them eight pounds
D
will end up
G D C D
I wanna be around to watch the southern kick in
G D C D
Ain't got no purple heart, no blue ribbon
G D C
Blow out them candles now I'll show you where I've
D
been
G D C
Now she comes around at midnight like a Sunday
D
afternoon
G D C
With a purpose and a manner like a needle and a
D
spoon
G D C
A bad thing waitin' 'round to happen like a lake of
D
gasoline
G D C
The way that woman does me is like nothing, I've
D
ever seen
Pre Chorus:
C
Now I wanna tell her how I feel
D
But each time that I start
G D
My tongue wraps like a tether ball
C D
Six times around my heart and I say
Chorus:
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C D
It's Cory from work callin' to say
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C
I was wonderin' what you was doing, a little later
D
on today
G D C
Just wonderin' what you was doing, a little later on
D
today
G D C D (4X)
G D C
Don't think I'll ever wake up on the wrong side of
D
her bed
G D C D
She brings the sun, she brings the shine
G D C
These days every time I try and start to sing some
D
sad song
G D C
I open up my mouth and the only words that I can
D
find is just
G D C D G D C D
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
G D C D G D C D
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Chorus:
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C D
It's Cory from work callin' to say
G D C D
Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson
G D C
I was wonderin' what you was doing, a little later
D
on today
G D C
Just wonderin' what you was doing, a little later on
D
today
G D C D
I ain't even thinkin' about the rest of our day
G D C
I was wonderin' what you was doing, a little later
D
on today
G D C D G
I said hey, hey, Miss Ferguson, it's me
