[Intro]
| D | - | - | - |
[Verse 1]
D
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7 G
His dad looked down and smiled
F#m7 G
Said, "We can't leave her behind
Em7
Son,
D/F#
I know you don't want her to go
G A7sus4
But someday you'll change your mind"
And Johnny said
[Chorus]
D
Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Em
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please,
G A7sus4 D
don't take the girl
[Verse 2]
D
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7 G
Stranger came and pulled a gun
F#m7 G
Grabbed her by the arm
Em7 D/F#
Said, "If you do what I tell you to,
there
G A7sus4
Won't be any harm"
And Johnny said
[Chorus]
D
Take my money, take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Em7
Mister, give it a whirl
G A7sus4 D
But, please, don't take the girl
[Verse 3]
D
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
Says, "It's time to go"
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7 G
Doctor says, "The baby's fine
F#m7 G
But you'll have to leave
Em7 D/F#
'Cause his momma's fadin' fast" and
G A7sus4
Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
[Chorus]
D
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Em7
Take me out of this world
G A7sus4
God, please, don't take the girl
[Outro]
D
