Intro: C5 


[Verso 1]
 
C5 
Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl 
      G5                          D5 
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world 
C5 
You can't remember when you got your last meal 
    G5                        D5 
And you don't know just how a woman feels 
Bb5 
You didn't know what rock n' roll was 
  Eb5 
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus 
Bb5 
I got there in the nick of time 
  Eb5 
Before he got his hands across your state line

        C5                                F5 
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe 
C5                                F5 
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe 
C5                                F5        G5 N.C. G5 N.C. 
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe 


[Verso 2]
 
             C5 
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road 
    G5                         D5 
The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold 
C5 
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat 
    G5                        D5 
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet 
Bb5 
You didn't know how rock n' roll looked 
  Eb5 
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group 
Bb5 
Half-way home in the parking lot 
       Eb5 
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got

        C5                                F5 
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe 
C5                                F5 
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe 
C5                                F5        G5 N.C. G5 N.C. 
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

      C5 
Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep 
        G5                       D5 
There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat 
C5 
Can't give you home for messin' around 
   G5                             D5 
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town 
Bb5 
You didn't know that rock n' roll burned 
Eb5 
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned 
Bb5 
You got the rhythm, you got the speed 
Eb5 
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
