Chicks Dig It - Chris Cagle
Album: Chris Cagle
Writers: Chris Cagle/Charlie Crowe 

This sounds really cool and more like the recording
if you use power chords(or can be bar chords) on the 
D, C & G's in the verse and bar chords on the chorus 
and the A chords.

See chord diagrams at the bottom.

Intro:  D  C  G  C (x4)

D         C    G      C
Daddy's belt, mamas drapes
D                     C                     
Standin' tall on the backyard shed
        G           C
Lookin' cool in my superman cape
D            C 
I told the neighborhood girls
      G                C
Said hey y'all, watch this
D              C
My fate was a broken arm
        G      C
And my reward one big kiss
A                    C
When daddy asked me why I did it
             A                    C
I made him laugh out loud when I told him
          (no chord)
Cause the chicks dig it


Chorus:
D      A      C      G  
Scars heal... glory fades
D              A                 C            G  
And all we're left with are the memories made, oh yeah
D      A         C          G  
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
      C                          G
Yeah life is short so go on and live it

Cause the chicks dig it


D  C  G  C (x2)


Verse 2:
Black top road, learner permit
Thought I was Earnhardt
Drivin' fast, but I didn't see the ditch
Took out a mailbox, then a fence, then a barn
The police came and called my father
But I met the farmer's daughter
And when the judge asked me why I did it
He threw the book at me when I told him
Cause the chicks dig it


CHORUS


Solo: D  C  G  C (x4)


A                          C
Just throw caution to the wind my friend
A                                 C
And then sit back and watch your life begin, cause


CHORUS (x2)

C                                      G
It don't matter if you lose or if you win it

Hey the chicks dig it


Outro: D  C  G  C  (repeat to end with ad-lib)
