Howdy

Intro: D 


 
D 
Have mercy, looky there, what's she doing in here? 
  A 
I think I just fell in love 
A 
You only get one chance at a first impression 
                           D 
So I better not screw this up 
D 
Well, she's a one out of ten and I'm the one she's missing 
                    G 
More woman than I deserve 
      A 
After sitting and waiting, internally debating 
A 
I finally worked up the nerve and I said 
 

 
D                                G 
 "Howdy, do you come here often? Mind if I sit down? 
A 
How'd you slip through the back door of Heaven? 
                                D 
Does the good Lord know you got out? 
D 
Honey, you're out of my league 
                                        G 
But we'd make a good team far as I'm concerned 
       A 
Howdy, how do I make the whole town wonder 
                       D 
'How'd he wind up with her?'" 
 

 
D 
I was feeling pretty slick when she said, "I'll admit 
        A 
I ain't heard that before" 
A 
Next thing you know, we were both boot scooting 
                       D 
All across the sawdust floor 
D 
Well, I landed me a kiss, "Say, whatcha doing after this?" 
                                       G 
I said, "I'm free for the rest of your life" 
      A 
Well, who woulda thought it? The fire got started 
A 
With a little bitty pickup line that sounded like 
 

 
D                                G 
 "Howdy, do you come here often? Mind if I sit down? 
A 
How'd you slip through the back door of Heaven? 
                                D 
Does the good Lord know you got out? 
D 
Honey, you're out of my league 
                                        G 
But we'd make a good team far as I'm concerned 
       A 
Howdy, how do I make the whole town wonder 
                       D 
'How'd he wind up with her?'"

How do I make the whole town wonder 
A 
What kinda spell I got you under? 
A 
'Either he's rich or she's Stevie Wonder 
N.C.                        D 
How'd he wind up with her?'"
