[Verse 1]
G
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing,
G
when he was 8 years old
G
A little girl came through the front gate
G
holding a fishing pole
Bm7            C
His dad looked down and smiled
Bm7                     C
Said we can't leave her behind
Am7                  Bm7
Son I know you don't want her to go
    C                          D
But someday you'll change your mind
           G
And Johnny said

[Chorus]
G
Take Jimmy Johnson
G
Take Tommy Thompson
G
Take my best friend Bo
G
Take anybody that you want as
G
  Long as she don't go
G                   Am7
Take any boy in the world
      C      D
Daddy please
               G
Don't take the girl

[Post-Chorus]

G
Same ol' boy
G
Same sweet girl
G
Ten years down the road
G
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
G
Front of the picture show
Bm7                 C
A stranger came and pulled a gun
Bm7                C
Grabbed her by the arm
Am7                   Bm7
Said If you do what I tell you to there
C            D
Won't be any harm
           G
And Johnny said

[Chorus]
G
Take my money
G
Take my wallet
G
   Take my credit cards
G
   Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
G
   Here's the key to my car
G             Am7
Mr. give it a whirl
    C      D
But please
               G
Don't take the girl

[Verse 3]
G
Same ol' boy
G
Same sweet girl
G
Five years down the road
G
There's gonna be a little one and she
G
   Says it's time to go
Bm7                 C
   Doctor said the baby's fine
Bm7                   C
   But you'll have to leave
Am7               Bm7
'Cause his mama's fadin' fast and
C                D
  Johhny hit his knees
            G
And then he prayed

[Chorus]
G
Take the very breath you gave me
G
Take the heart from my chest
G
I'll gladly take her place if you'll have me
G
Make this my last request
G                   Am7
Take me out of this world
    C      D
God please
               G
Don't take the girl
