I Shall Return
Written by Billy Currington, Bob DiPiero & Scotty Emerick
Recorded by Currington Billy
(Capo on 3)
Intro.:  | (G)  | (D)  | (A)  | (D)  | x 2
My little (A)Mexican woman got herself a hot little (D)body (whistle)
That little (A)sweet senorita knows how to be the life of the (D)party
We (F#)dance and we talk, hold hands when we walk, shoot te-(Bm)quilla all night long
She (E)can't understand why this ramblin' man says it's (A)time to be (G)movin' on (F#m) (Em)
Inst.:  | (G)  | (D)  | (A)  | (D)
My little (A)sweet Georgia peach, she sure knows how to show me a (D)good time
She's got the (A)longest legs, I swear they're smoother than her daddy's (D)moonshine
 (that's smooth)
We eat her (F#)mama's fried chicken, go skinny dippin', (Bm)drink cold beer all night long
She (E)don't understand when this ramblin' man says it's (A)time to be (G)movin' on (F#m) (Em)
(Chorus)
I got (G)places to be, I got (D)people to see, got both (A)ends of the candle to (D)burn
But (G)I'll try to hurry, so (D)girls, don't you worry, I (A)promise you I shall re-(D)turn
My little (A)Miami friend with that cinnamon skin, oh, she's (D)so fine (sure is)
She always (A)lights up my night with a ray of pure Florida (D)sunshine
Man we (F#)work on our tans, roll around in the sand, chug Ba-(Bm)cardi all night long
She (E)don't understand when this ramblin' man says it's (A)time to be (G)movin' on (F#m) (Em)
(Chorus)
I got (G)places to be, I got (D)people to see, got both (A)ends of the candle to (D)burn
But (G)I'll try to hurry, so (D)girls, don't you worry, I (A)promise you I shall re-(D)turn
(Chorus)
I got (G)places to be, I got (D)people to see, got both (A)ends of the candle to (D)burn
But (G)I'll try to hurry, so (D)girls, don't you worry, I (A)promise you I shall re-(D)turn
(Tag)
(G) No, (Bm)don't (A)worry girls, I shall return (D) -----
