[Verse 1]
C7
   You're hot as a desert, hell in a sheet
C7
Home's anywhere you lay your feet
     Bb               F                  C7
Your heart is full of tumbleweed and brimstone
C7
Whisper in your whiskey late at night
C7
You might fool an untrained eye
    Bb              F                  C7
But I know what you need, someone to depend on

[Chorus]
     C
Hey, I can be tender I can be sweet
C
I can sweep the Devil off his red hot feet
    F         Bb             C
Oh, I do love dancin' down a hardwood hall
    C
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too
C
Run a 100 miles backward in them boots
          Bb               F               C
When your tough gets tired baby, give me a call
           Bb                  F                    C
See, I can tell by the way you walk you're ready to fall

[Verse 2]
C7
Hard like a hammer fit like a glove
C7
47 different shades of love
Bb                   F                 C7
Don't you think it's time to try one on
C7
Oh, you and Custer fools of a feather
C7
Hide behind them hides of leather
       Bb            F                     C7
You'll throw up that white flag before too long

[Chorus]
     C
See, I can be tender I can be sweet
C
I can sweep the Devil off his red hot feet
    F         Bb             C
Oh, I do love dancin' down a hardwood hall
    C
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too
C
Run a 100 miles backward in your boots
          Bb               F               C
When your tough gets tired baby, give me a call
           Bb                  F                    C
See, I can tell by the way you talk you're ready to fall

[Bridge]
     C
Hey, na na na na na la na La na na na na na na
Bb             F           C
Na na na na na na na na na naw
     C
Hey, oo la na na Oo Oo Oo De da na na na na na
Bb             F        C
Na na na na na na na na naw
C
Maybe it's the liquor maybe it's the night
C
Maybe it's the way your face holds light
C
Maybe it's the music maybe it's lust
C
Maybe you're a diamond maybe you're dust
C
Maybe I'm the woman maybe you're the man
C
Maybe we'll crawl maybe we'll stand
C
Maybe your heart's like Jericho's Wall
C
Call me Joshua, ready to fall

[Chorus]
     C
Hey, I can be tender I can be sweet
C
I can sweep the Devil off his red hot feet
    F         Bb             C
Oh, I do love dancin' down a hardwood hall
    C
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too
C
Run a 100 miles backward in them boots
          Bb               F               C
When your tough gets tired baby, give me a call
           Bb                  F                    C
Hey, I can tell by the way you walk you're ready to fall
           Bb                  F                    C    Bb
Hey, I can tell by the way you walk you're ready to fall
F               C          Bb F
You're ready to fall, yeah

[Outro]
C7
Whisper in your whiskey late at night
C7
You might fool an untrained eye
    Bb              F                  C7
But I know what you need, someone to depend on
