Eddie Cochran - Cut across shorty

^CNow a country boy called Shorty and a ^Fcity boy named Dan, had to ^Cprove who could run the fastest to ^D7win miss Lucy's ^Ghand. Now ^CDan had all the money and he ^Falso

But ^CShorty must have had something, boys, that ^G7can't be found in ^Cbooks.

Well, 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.' That's ^Cwhat miss Lucy said. 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.. it's ^G7you I wanna ^Cwed.

Now, ^CDan had been in training, a ^Fweek before the race. He ^Cmade up his mind ol' Shorty, would ^D7end in second ^Gplace. And ^CDan with his long legs a-flyin' left ^FShorty far behind. And ^CShorty heard him holler out.. 'Miss ^G7Lucy, you'll soon be ^Cmine!'

Well, 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.' That's ^Cwhat miss Lucy said. 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.. it's ^G7you I wanna ^Cwed.

But ^CShorty wasn't worried, there was a ^Fsmile upon his face. He ^Cknew that he was a-goin' to win, cause ^D7Lucy had fixed the ^Grace. And ^Cjust like that old story, about the ^Fturtle

When ^CDan crossed over the finish line, he ^G7found Shorty waiting ^Cthere.

Well, 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.' That's ^Cwhat miss Lucy said. 'Cut across ^FShorty, Shorty, cut across.. it's ^G7you I wanna ^Cwed...

It's ^G7you I wanna ^Cwed..it's ^G7you I wanna ^Cwed.(Fade.)
