YOU CAN'T GET A MAN WITH A GUN by Irving Berlin from "ANNIE GET YOUR GUN" 1946 [Intro] (spoken)

Oh, my ^Gmother was frightened by a ^Emshotgun, they ^Amsay That's why ^GI'm such a ^Cwonderful ^Dshot. I'd be ^Gout in the cactus and I'd ^Empractice all ^Amday, And ^Cnow tell me ^Amwhat have I ^Dgot?

[Verse 1]

I'm ^Gquick on the trigger With ^Ctargets not much ^Dbigger Than a ^Gpinpoint, ^CI'm number ^Done. But my ^Gscore with a ^Emfeller Is ^Amlower than a ^Cceller, Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun.

[Verse 2]

When ^GI'm with a pistol, I ^Csparkle like a ^Dcrystal Yes, I ^Gshine like the ^Cmorning ^Dsun. But I ^Glose all my ^Emluster, When ^Amwith a bronco ^Cbuster Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun

[Chorus]

With a ^Cgu-un, with a ^Ggu-un, Oh, you can't get a man with a ^Dgun

[Verse 3]

If ^GI went to battle with ^Csomeone's herd of ^Dcattle You'd ^Ghave steak when the ^Cjob was ^Ddone But, if ^GI shot the ^Emherder, They'd ^Amholler bloody ^Cmurder

[Bridge]

And you ^Gcan't shoot ^D7a male In the ^Gtail like a ^Cquail Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun

[Verse 4]

I'm ^Gcool, brave, and daring To ^Csee a lion ^Dglaring When I'm ^Gout with my ^CReming^Dton But a ^Glook from a ^Emmister Will ^Amraise a fever ^Cblister Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun

[Verse 5]

The ^Ggals with umbrellas Are ^Calways out with ^Dfellers In the ^Grain or the ^Cblazin ^Dsun. But a ^Gman never ^Emtrifles With ^Amgals who carry ^Crifles. Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun.

[Chorus]

With a ^Cgu-un, with a ^Ggu-un, Oh you ^Gcan't get a ^Cman with a ^Dgun

[Verse 6]

A ^Gman's love is mighty, He'll ^Ceven buy a ^Dnightie For a ^Ggal who he ^Cthinks is ^Dfun. But they ^Gdon't buy ^Empajamas For ^Ampistol ^Cpackin' ^Ammamas!

[Outro]

And you ^Gcan't get a ^D7hug From a ^Gmug, with a ^Cslug! Oh, you ^Gcan't get a ^Dman with a ^Ggun!
