Key:C
Chorus:
[Verse] A F G D
Becky was the beauty
from south
Alabama,
Her daddy had a
heart like a nine
pound hammer,
I think he even did
a little time in the
slammer,
What was I
thinkin'
[Verse 2] A F G D
She snuck out one
night and met me by
the front gate,
Her daddy came out a
wavin' that twelve
gauge,
we tore out of the
drive, he peppered
my tailgate,
What was I
thinkin'
[Bridge]E E7
Oh I knew there'd be
hell to pay
But that crossed my
mind a little too
late,
[Chorus] A G D C A G
D / 2X
Cause I was thinkin'
'bout a little white
tank top,
Sittin' right there
in the middle by
me,
I was thinkin' 'bout
a long kiss, Man I
just gotta get,
Goin' where the
night might lead,
E
G - G - D - D
I know what I was
feelin'
A - F - G D - G
D
But, what was I
thinkin'
[Verse 3] A F G
D
By the county line,
the cop's were
nippin' on our
heels
Pulled off the road,
kicked it in
four-wheel
Shut off the lights,
tore through a corn
field
What was I
thinkin'
[Verse 4] A F G D
Out the the other
side, she was
hollerin'
"faster"
Took a dirt road,
had the radio
blastin'
Hit the honky tonk
for a little close
dancin'
What was I
thinkin'
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
(Lead chords B - D -
A - B - F - G -
A)
[Verse 5] A F G
D
When a mountain of a
man with a 'Born To
Kill' tattoo
Tried to cut in, I
knocked out his
front tooth
Ran outside,
hood-slidin' like Bo
Duke
What was I
thinkin'
[Verse 6] A F G D
Finally got her home
at half past too
late,
Her daddy, in a lawn
chair, sittin' on
the driveway
Put it in park, and
he started my way
What was I
thinkin'
[Bridge 2] C F
Oh... what was I
thinkin'
What was I
thinkin'
D#9+/5+ D#9+/5+
D#9+/5+
Then she gave a
come-and-get-me
grin
D#9+/5+
D#9+/5+
And like a bullet,
we were gone
again
Am7#5
[Chorus]
(Ending chords are A
- F - G D - G D)
[Outro]
What was I
thinkin'?
Oh, I know what I
was feelin'.
But what was I
thinkin'?
I guess I was
thinkin' 'bout that
tank top. |
