(A) Last night we had a hell raisin' time
(D) Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on (A) limes
Sunrise chased the good time (D7) away
And good (B7) morning would have been the wrong (E7) thing to say
'Cause the (A) poundin' in the top of my head
Hey (D) didn't leave me any too (A) soon
I can't say we've had a good (B7) morning
But (D7) babe it's been a (E7) great after(A)noon
Well you (D) nursed me through the morning while (A) I was really
down
Then one (B7) rowdy afternooner got me (E7) up and around
Yes last (A) night we had one hell raisin' time
But (D) today won't be forgotten too (A) soon
I can't say we've had a good (B7) morning
Oh but (D7) babe it's been a (E7) great after(A)noon, yes sir
(break)
Well you (D) nursed me through the morning while (A) I was really
down
Then one (B7) rowdy afternooner got me (E7) up and around
Yes last (A) night we had one hell raisin' time, he he
But (D) today won't be forgotten too (A) soon
I can't say we've had a good (B7) morning
But (D7) dang it's been a (E7) great after(A)noon
