(Plays A chord for four measures while montaging lyrics below)
Yee-haw
Oh, oh, oh
Texas, texas (oh, oh, oh) texas
[Verse 1]
A C
Came into this world, Daddy's little girl
G D
And daddy made a soldier out of me Oh, oh, oh
A C
Daddy made me dance, And daddy held my hand
G A
And daddy liked his whisky with his tea
A C
And we rode motorcycles, Blackjack, classic vinyl
G D
Tough girl is what I had to be
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A C
He said take care of your mother, Watch out for your sister
G D
Oh, and that's when he gave to me...
[Chorus]
A C
With his gun, with his head held high, He told me not to cry
G A
Oh, my daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
A C
With his right hand on his rifle He swore it on the bible
G A
My daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
A C
He held in his arms And he taught me to be strong
G D
He told me when he's gone Here's what you do
A C
When trouble comes in time And men like me come around
G A
Oh, my daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
A C
Daddy made me fight, It wasn't always right
G D
But he said girl it's your second amendment, oh, oh, oh
A C
He always played it cool, But daddy was no fool
G A
And right before he died he said remember...
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A C
He said take care of your mother, Watch out for your sister
G D
And that's when daddy looked at me...
[Chorus]
A C
With his gun, with his head held high, He told me not to cry
G D
Oh, my daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
A C
With his right hand on his rifle He swore it on the bible
G A
My daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
A C
He held in his arms And he taught me to be strong
G D
He told me when he's gone Here's what you do
A C
When trouble comes in time And men like me come around
G A
Oh, my daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot
(no guitar duing oh’s)
Oh, oh, oh
A
Oh, oh, oh
A
Oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
A
My daddy warned me about men like you
C G
He said baby girl he's playing you
A
He's playing you
A
My daddy warned me about men like you
C G
He said baby girl he's playing you
A
He's playing you
A
Cause when trouble comes in town
C
And men like me come around
G
Oh, my daddy said shoot
D
Oh, my daddy said shoot
A
Cause when trouble comes to town
C
And men like me come around
G
Oh, my daddy said shoot
A
Oh, my daddy said shoot
