Cut Across Shorty Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

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

had the looks.

 But CShorty must have had something, boys,

 that G7can't be found in Cbooks.

Chorus

 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!'

Chorus

 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

and the hare.

 When CDan crossed over the finish line,

 he G7found Shorty waiting Cthere.

Chorus

 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...

Outro

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