Sheriff Mcgiven Cifras

[Intro]
 
G G G G
 
[Chorus]
     C
It's hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
 
[Verse 1]
        G
I got a ring and a pebble deep down in my pocket
        G
And the money that I saved is down in my sock
        C
I got a lock of your hair and it's hidden in my locket
       G
And it keeps me company
 
[Verse 2]
          G
Sheriff McGiven was a brave man, true and strong
          G
You could tell just by looking that he wouldn't last long
           C
And sure enough somebody shot him, it was early in the song
        G
Leaving only the deputy
 
[Verse 3]
   G
Evebody knew then that somebody armed and dangerous was
G
living in the house where the women were outrageous
        C
And the maiden aunts were wailing (sweet Jesus who will save us?)
     G
Everybody looked at me
 
[Chorus]
     C
It's hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
 
[Verse 4]
     G
So I rode on down to the house full of women
        G
Looking for the murderer who had murdered Sheriff McGiven
    C
But when I finally found him, it wasn't a him
         G
It was a her and you were she
 
[Verse 5]
         G
You were holding six guns, but not in my direction
    G
You sat real close and you gave me your confession
      C
I was shot through the heart, but not by Smith and Wesson
        G
But the way that you kissed my cheek
 
[Verse 6]
             G
You said the sheriff was a bad man, a liar and a thief
       G
He was crooked to the core contrary to popular belief
           C
He treated all the girls bad, one day he came to grieve
             G
He shot them off of the balcony
 
[Chorus]
     C
It's hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
 
[Verse 7]
         G
I said I think that I would like to be a part of your escape
          G
I said to tell you the truth, being deputy ain't great
       C
And it looks like being sheriff is an even worse fate
            G
Contrary to popular belief
 
[Verse 8]
            G
You said to meet tomorrow morning bout a quarter to 4
        G
Bring a ring, here's my locket. Don't forget an extra horse
        C
Throw a pebble through the largest window on the second floor
          G
I'll jump off of the balcony
 
[Chorus]
     C
It's hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
 
 
[Verse 9]
       G
So she jumped down, I caught her and we both rode away
            G
We built ourselves a little home about the San Francisco Bay
        C
We dissapeared without a single trace, no inquiries were made
        G
And the rest is history
 
[Chorus]
     C
It's hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
 
C
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
G
Hard to find somebody to keep sometimes
D
Hard to find a lover who will leap sometimes,
             G
But when she does you gotta catch her,
         G
When she does you gotta hold on
