Tom : G
D
* G Am
In a sixty-eigtht camero a little girl, and big four lanes
C D
Oh, she's flying like an arrow out across the Pontchartrain
G Am
To a man down in New Orleans, says he loves her eyes of blue
C D G
Swears she'll never want for nothing, he shounds too good to be true
[Verse 2]
D G Am
She's dreaming of the parties, he's sure to take her to
C D
And all the big white houses down on St Charles Avenue
G Am
Well, she twenty-one and ready to shake the small down blues
C D G
She knows right where she's heading and it's too good to be true
[Chorus 1]
F C G
The heart, it's an easy vic--tim for and old silver tongue
F C D
And they always seem to pick them, innocent and young
Em C G
They don't know there ain't no shortcut on the road to happiness
Am C
They don't know the simple rule, if it sounds too good to be true
D G
It probably is
[Solo]
D G Am C D Em C G A C D G
[Verse 3]
D G Am
As she can see those city lights, she should be full of hope
C D
Suddenly she hears her daddy and the last words that he spoke
G Am
Sister, always be a good girl, please remember this
C D
I don't care what he's telling you, if it sounds too good to be true
G
It probably is
[Chorus 2 2x]
G F C G
A tender hearts an easy vic--tim for an old silver tongue
[Outro]
D G Am
In a sixty-eigtht camero, a little girl, and big four lanes
C D G F C G
Well, she's flying like an arrow across the Pontchartrain
