   E       A       E        E A  E
I took my baby to see a show.
 E               A              E        E A E
She was telling me, she didn't want to go.
          E       A                E              E A  E
I said, "Come on girl, what's the matter with you?"
             E            A               E       E A  E
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.

Chorus:
 E                  C
Hold on girl don't get too tight,
A                            B
You started early and we've got all night.
              E             C
You've gotta take it easy, take it slow.
A                        B
We don't want the whole world to know
            E            G A
About the shape you're in
 A              B
Hey babe, the shape you're in.
            E            G A
About the shape you're in
 A              D          B
Hey girl, the shape you're in.

Well, my little girl really loves that wine
Wine will do it to her most every time
If it's red or it's white or it's in between
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen

Chorus

Now I'm not trying to get heavy with you
I'll mind my own business if you want me to
But I love you girl, I don't love no one else
I'm just telling you, baby, because I've been there myself
