Verse
D                A
Had a girl and I swore to be true
D                  A
Long red curls and eyes of blue
        G                      D
But she had a little temper so what did I do
G      G5/F         D
Had to let her down slow

Chorus
D                   A
Got to let her down slow, my friend
        D                              A
Because she's the kind of woman who'll shoot you dead
    D                 D/F#         G
Her heart ain't never gonna listen to her head
G         G5/F     D
You gotta let down slow

Interlude

Verse
D               A
Met a girl, the small town type
        D                           A
And she made me feel wrong, and she made me feel right
      G                             D
And I tried to disappear before the morning light
G        G5/F         D
She just wouldn't let me go

D                         A
She told me she liked the way that I sang
    D                            A
And wanted something more than a one night fling
      G                             D
And I tried like hell to make the church bells ring
G            G5/F         D
It's time to let her down slow

Chorus

Verse
D                             A
So I tried to tell her that I had someone
     D                  A
As I laced my boots and prepared to run
          G                           D 
When from under her vest she pulled a loaded shotgun
G             G5/F        D
{And she} was aiming down low

Chorus

Verse
D                      A
You gotta let her down soft and slow
              D                     A
Cause she's a redneck hair-trigger, this I know
    G                              D
Her daddy and her brothers are the local po-po
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow

G                   G5/F          D
Gotta let her down, let her down, let her down slow  (Repeat)

G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Gotta let her down)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Let her down slow)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Gotta tell her no means no)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Naw, don't treat her bad)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Might be the best time she's ever had)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (No, don't treat her wrong)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Come on, and you'll be long gone)
G         G5/F         D
You gotta let her down slow (Gotta let her down slow)

G G5/F D

Chorus

G     G5/F         D
Gotta let her down slow
G     G5/F         D
Gotta let her down slow
