Ironed up a pearl snap, left that old ball cap

  x      x       D                    Bm
I did it for the girl, dancin' in the sunset
                  G                         A
To get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette
                 D                     Bm
I did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side
     G                        A                      D
Been waiting on it all night kiss, I did it for the girl

D                         Bm
I dialed her up some more George Strait
D                      Bm
Me and old George sang Marina Del Rey
G
There by the water's edge, big sky turnin' red
A                                A
That perfect night, she said she can't forget
 
                 D                    Bm
I did it for the girl, dancin' in the sunset
                  G                         A
To get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette
                 D                     Bm
I did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side
     G                        A                      D
Been waiting on it all night kiss, I did it for the girl
 
 
Solo:
 
1st half is a slide guitar, so when I play this by myself acoustic, I shorten it to
just the 2nd half. Sounds something like this:
 
                                                                 I did it for...

                  G

      A
Those blue eyes want me to hold her

I did it for the girl, dancin' in the sunset
                  G                         A

                 D                    Bm
I did it for the girl, dancin' on the front porch
                G                                     A
Reachin' out to grab my shirt and pull me through the front door
                 D
I did it for the midnight, candlelight
Bm                   G         A
Anything to make her mine, all mine

                 D       Bm
