[Intro]
Am  Dm  Am Dm
[Verse]
AmAnd she was beautiful as an ambulance at midnight
FSweet as a practiced promise
CHungry as a video arcE7ade
[Verse]
AmAnd I was lost as a coyote on Main Street
FDesperate as the last day of summer
CRunnin' like a dog on a cE7hain
[Verse]
AmShe said I like you, and I said
F"Well I would like to, too"
CWhy don't we get aE7way?
[Verse]
AmShe took me in and Fchewed me up
CAnd said I hope you'll E7stay
[Chorus]
And I holler Fwhere will I find her
GWhere will I find her?
CWhere will I find her?
FWhere will I find her?
GWhere will I find her?
CWhere will I find her?
AmWhere?...
...will I E7find my calico Amgirl?G  C  
Am G C
Am G C
[Verse]
I keep aAmbreast of the situation
FAnd a leg up on the throat of the competition
CAnd my head in the E7game
[Verse]
But I Amtread a little softer when I walk
And there's a Flittle bit of poison in my talk
But the Cresults are the E7same
[Verse]
And I've been Amstruggling to put a Fstill point in my head
As well as Csomeone who could take the E7blame
AmI've been burned but I Fhave healed
CNow I need a new E7flame
[Chorus]
And I holler Fwhere will I find her
GWhere will I find her?
CWhere will I find her?
FWhere will I find her?
GWhere will I find her?
CWhere will I find her?
AmWhere?...
...will I E7find my calico Amgirl?G  C
