E                   B            E                            B
 I was courting a Southern belle.  Her daddy was a rich 'un, too.
E               B                      D           E        B
 Sports car outside her door, she was pretty good looking, too.
E                         B                    E                     B
 You call me up, want me to come over when the  servants are all in bed.
 
And she said,
E                B                            D      E            B
 "Daddy's on a flight tonight.  Does that put any ideas in your head?"

I say to her:


 E       B                            E                   B
Take it all the way.  Can you really take it all the way down?
                E       B           D     A     B
Can you really take it all the way down, down, down?
 D     A     B
Down, down, down.


E                      B      E                  B
 So we watch a little TV, I drink up the family wine.
E                           B                     D        E            B
 She said, "You're such a snake in the grass, boy.  But tonight, you're mine."
 E                             B  
wait a minute, wait a minute, baby.
          E                          B
Are you tryin' to make a fool out of me?
         E                     B                       D    E      B
She said, "I've seen men like you before.  I've got a long family tree."

And she said to me:


E        B                            E                   B
Take it all the way.  Can you really take it all the way down?
                E       B           D     A     B
Can you really take it all the way down, down, down?

                     F#                              B
And I say to myself: Even a fool like me can be the loving kind.
