Take Your Time

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Tom: D

(Verse 1)

     E5         A5   B5      A5
My poor broke mama told me
      E5    A5           B5    A5
When I was twelve years old
    E5      A5     B5       A5
You eat and talk   much too fast
        E5        A5         B5
There's one thing you should know

(chorus)
E5 G5   Ab5  A5    D5       E5    D5    A5
   Take your time  my sweet baby
D5        E5      D5        E5    A5    B5    A5
Take your time my blue eyed son

( E5    A5    B5 )

E5   A5  Bb5  B5    E5       Gb5    E5   A5
Well you may  never have his money
    D5        E5      D5         E5    A5    B5    A5
But you won't miss no rich man's fun

( A5  Bb5  B5 )

(verse 2)
      E5    A5       B5    A5
I can never give you money honey
      E5    A5      B5      A5
I can never buy you clothes
         E5       A5         B5         A5
But the way them women been lookin' at you
    E5      A5          B5
Someday you should have both

(chorus)
E5     G5   Ab5  A5   D5       E5     D5   A5
If you take your time my sweet baby
D5        E5       D5        E5    A5    B5    E5
Take your time and love them slow

( E5    A5    B5 )

E5  A5 Bb5 B5        E5    Gb5   E5    A5
And if you play your cards right now
D5        E5    D5      E5    A5    B5    A5
You won't never wait no more

( A5   Bb5   B5 )

(verse 3)
         E5     A5         B5        A5
Well the ladies like their diamonds
     E5         A5        B5       A5
They like their brand new clothes
    E5    A5           B5        A5     E5          A5       B5
But I was blessed with plenty of other  things they love the most

(chorus)
E5  G5   Ab5  A5   D5       E5      D5    A5
I   take my   time with the ladies
  D5      E5         D5       E5    A5    B5    A5
I take my time and I love 'em slow

( E5   A5   B5 )

E5  A5    Bb5  B5     E5    Gb5   E5     A5
And since I    turned thir--teen, Lord
N.C.                   E5   Ab5  A5  Bb5  B5
I ain't never wait no more

      E5    A5       B5    A5
I can never give you money honey

I can never buy you clothes
       E5       A5          B5      A5
But the way them schoolgirls look at you
    E5      A5         B5
Someday you gonna have both

(chorus)

E5     G5   Ab5  A5   D5       E5     D5    A5
