[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
You packed that mossy oak, one case of .308 and
Em
Caught you a blue-eyed doe, but ain't white tail you were chasing
              G                   D         A
Said you'd be home by Sunday, but I went to church alone
Em     G                D
It's 2pm on Monday, and here you come
A       Em             G                  D             A
Pullin' in the neighborhood but you ain't out the woods yet
        Em                G                  D           A
Smilin' like you had some luck but that's an empty truck bed
 
 
[Chorus]
    Em       G               D        A
You went out hunting, but forgot your gun
   Em           G                 D
Oh DEER tell me something, do you think I'm dumb?
     Em          G               D         A
Camo can't cover up the smell of her sweet Dior
                Em
So there's your suitcase, baby, on the front porch
                                              Em
'Cause you're a day late and a buck short (hey)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Go 'head boy, shoot your shot, talk your way out of this one
Em
Point blank, yeah, you got caught, and there's nowhere left to run
          G                  D             A
Redhanded with that shade of pink lipstick on your collar
Em            G               D                  A
You packed Luccheses to climb deer stands in the holler
 
 
[Chorus]
    Em       G               D        A
You went out hunting, but forgot your gun
   Em           G                 D
Oh DEER tell me something, do you think I'm dumb?
     Em          G               D         A
Camo can't cover up the smell of her sweet Dior
                Em
So there's your suitcase, baby, on the front porch
Em
'Cause you're a day late and a buck short (hey)
 
 
[Bridge]
Em G D              A
     Day late and a buck short
Em G   D              A
     A day late and a buck short
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
Em G D   Em G D
Em
You're a day late and a buck short
Em
If ya ain't ready to meet the Lord,
Em
You better high tail it out the door,
Em
'Cause this rifle here ain't yours no more
 
 
[Chorus]
    Em       G               D        A
You went out hunting, but forgot your gun
   Em           G                 D
Oh DEER tell me something, do you think I'm dumb?
     Em          G               D         A
Camo can't cover up the smell of her sweet Dior
                Em                     G
So there's your suitcase, baby, on the front porch
                D              A
'Cause you're a day late and a buck short (hey)
 
 
[Outro]
             Em
There's your suitcase, baby, on the front porch
                                             Em G
You're a day late and a, a buck short (hey) (woah)
D              A           Em G
Day late and a buck short (woah)
  D                 A
A day late and a, a buck short
