[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][C]
[Bb][F][Gm][G][Gm][C]
[Bb][F][Gm][G][Gm]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Down a dirt road down in southern Louisiana
Flew a white Continental
with [C]the top [Bb]laid [Gm]back
Pretty blond sittin' on
a seat of red leather
Dust blowin' out of those
[C]well [Bb]wore [Gm]tracks
She [F]goin' [G]back

[Verse 2]
[Gm]
Moss hangin' down like
beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin' from
[C]a rock[Bb]in' [Gm]chair
Ain't no place for a girl of her state
She's gonna ruin her reputation
[C]She [Bb]don't [Gm]care 'cause
he's [F]waitin' [Gm]there

[Verse 3]
[G]She's gonna say
"Tell [Gm]me you think that I'm pr[G]etty
Tell me [Gm]you think that I'm smart
[C]Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm [Bb]listening [F]with
my heart"
[G][Gm][G]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]May be it's wrong but
that's [C]the way it goes
When the [Bb]only love you get
is [C]down

[Interlude 1]
Cheater's road
[C][G][Gm][C]
[F][Gm]
[G][Gm][C][Bb]
[Gm][G]

[Verse 5]
[Gm]Bedsprings rubbin' her back
through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin'
[C]down [Gm]her n[G]eck
Watchin' him [Gm]pullin' down
the shades on the window
She'd rather have him
than an [C]empty [Bb]bed[Gm]
And [F]her self respect
[G]

[Verse 6]
And she [Gm]says[G]
"Tell me you [Gm]think that I'm [G]pretty
Tell me you think that [Gm]I'm smart
[C]Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm [Bb]listening [F]with my heart"
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Bb]May be it's wrong but

Old [G]man countin'

[Verse 8]
his
money in [Gm]the city
Nothin' but [G]the bottom [Gm]dollar [C]on [Bb]his m[Gm]ind
The [G]whole situ[Gm]ation [G]is a downright pity
[F]He did[Gm]n't even notice when she
[C]crossed [Bb]that [Gm]line
When she [F]crossed that line
[G][Gm]

[Verse 9]
And she said
[G]"Tell me [Gm]you think that I'm [G]pretty
Tell [Gm]me you think that I'm smart
[C]Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause [Bb]I'm listening
[F]with my heart"

[Gm][G][C][Bb][F]
[G]Oh tell me you think that
I'm [C]pretty[G]
Tell me you think that I'm [C]smart[Bb][F]
[G]Oh tel[G]l me you[Gm] think that
I'm [C]pretty[Bb][G]
[G]Tell me you think that [Gm]I'm s[G]mart[C][F]

Tell me you think that I'm smart
