  CUT ACROSS SHORTY

  written by Marijohn Wilkin

  performed by Eddie Cochran

  C / / / 2 / / / 3 / /

  Now a country boy called Shorty

        F

  And a city boy named Dan

         C

  Had to prove who could win the fastest

     D7              G

  To win Miss Lucy's hand

      C

  Now Dan had all the money

         F

  And he also had the looks

      C

  But Shorty must've had somethin', boys

       G7                C

  That can't be found in books

  

  CHORUS:

        F

  Well, "Cut across, Shorty, Shorty, cut across!"

         C

  That's what Miss Lucy said

  F

  "Cut across, Shorty, Shorty, cut across;

       G7          C

  It's you I wanna wed!"

  

  Verse 2:

  Now Dan had been in trainin'

  A week before the race

  He made up his mind ol' Shorty

  Would end in 2nd place

  And Dan, with his long legs a-flyin'

  Left Shorty far behind

  And Shorty heard him holler out

  "Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine!"

  

  (chorus)

  

  Verse 3:

  But Shorty wasn't worried

  There was a smile upon his face

  He knew that he was gonna win

  'Cause Lucy had fixed the race

  And just like that old story

  About the turtle and the hare

  When Dan crossed over the finish line

  He found Shorty waitin' there

  

  (chorus)

  (repeat and fade):

        G7          C

  "It's you I wanna wed!"
