Riff 2 (it's performed by the bass, but is important to the  
song and can be done on guitar if you're playing acoustic,  
like for a bunch of friends or something...it's also used  
exclusively when walking to a "D" chord):

Note: My soundbyte is not very high quality at all, and not  
for lack of effort, lol, it's hard to make it sound right  
without a band...but it SHOULD give an idea of KINDA how  
this awesome song is supposed to sound...also, you can  
barely hear the CD in the background, lol, so it's a little  
extra help...one more time, if you have any questions,  
please email me ([email protected]).  Enjoy! 
 
Intro: A (listen to song for rhythm), then Riff 2 
       D    E    Riff 1 (into Verse 1) 
 
Verse 1: 
          A                      D                    A 
It didn't take too long before I ran out of things to say 
            D                                          A 
You know my baby and me we were going out on our first date 
      E                                                Riff 1 
And I hope she's not the kind that likes to make a man wait. 
 
Verse 2: 
It didn't take too long before I ran out of whiskey and gin 
We're getting closer to her house and its right around the very next bend 
I gotta loosen her up or she ain't never gonna let me in. 

          A 
It didn't take too long 
          A 
It didn't take too long 
          D                      E                      Riff 1 
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take. 
 
Bridge: 
              A(stop) 
Because she's panting and she's screaming 
        A(stop) 
And the windows they are steaming 
        A(stop) 
And the things I hear her saying man, 
        (NC, drums going to town here...) 
I think she's really meaning 
          D                      E                      Riff 1 
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take. 
 
Repeat Intro 
 
Verse 3: 
It didn't take too long until I realized what I fell in 
Before she threw me on the floor and she loved me like a champion 
Hey that little girl won herself a golden band 
 
          A 
It didn't take too long 
          A 
It didn't take too long 
          D 
It didn't take too long 
          A 
It didn't take too long 
          E                        	  	  	  Riff 1 
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take 
 
Outro: A (same pattern as intro with the A, but then: 
Db-D...(hold out)...A 
 
 
 
Just listen to the song to hear that slide from Db to D,  
it's not hard...enjoy!
