C Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl G D I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world C You can't remember when you got your last meal G D And you don't know just how a woman feels A# You didn't know what rock n' roll was D# Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus A# I got there in the nick of time D# Before he got his hands across your state line Chorus: C F I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe C F I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe C F G I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe Now it's the middle of the night on the open road The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got Chorus Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat Can't give you home for messin' around My best friend told me you're the best lick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet Chorus - x2 I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#  C  D  D#  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
