[Verse 1]
C
On a sunny September's day
C
Out in Tennessee where we were booked to play
F
Light shone down on a little dance floor
C
I seen a woman I never seen before
G
Love will hit you like a ton of bricks
G      C
When a bowlegged woman starts shakin' it

[Verse 2]
C
Black hair and it was piled high
C
Never seen a girl do it or even try
F
She buys her bobby pins by the pound
C
Just to keep that big hair down
G
Love will hit you like a ton of bricks
G      C
When a bowlegged woman starts shakin'€™ it

[Chorus]
C
She took that thing
C
Put it on a string
C       F
Started dancin'€™ round
F      C
Movin'€™ up and down
C
Shakin'€™ side to side
C               A7
Man, she was so fine
D7
I had to beg that bowlegged woman to
G7
Give me back that heart of mine
