INTRO: [G# x4]

VERSE 1:
Well if you're [G#] looking for a winner
Then you [D#] know you've got to go with [G#] me [G#]
I've got more [G#] ashes than Wednesday
You [G#] know I can brew my [D#] tea [D#]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Well I'm [C#] fixing to teach you every-[C#]-thing I know
I'll [G#] take you with me baby every-[G#]-where I go
If I can [G#] catch you for a minute
I [D#] know you'll take a chance with [G#] me ^[G#]^[D#]

CHORUS
So slow [G#] down, slow [G#] down, slow down [C#] Linda [C#]
[D#] Don't you think that you could [D#] save a little time with [G#] me [G#]
Slow [G#] down, slow [G#] down, slow down [C#] Linda [C#]
[D#] Don't you know that I've been [D#] waiting for your compan-[G#]-y [G#]

VERSE 2:
I've seen you [G#] speeding down the highway
When you [D#] ought to dig the scener-[G#]-y [G#]
And you can [G#] wolf down your dinner
In the [G#] time it takes to drink my [D#] tea [D#]

PRE-CHORUS 2:
You're [C#] always rushin' 'round every-[C#]-where you go
You [G#] leave me eating dirt on the [G#] side of the road
I can't keep [G#] running much longer
You [D#] always go too fast for [G#] me ^[G#]^[D#]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[C#] I think that you're [C#] getting to old to be [G#] running around [G#]
[C#] I think it's [A#] time you thought about [D#] settling [D#] down
So slow [G#] down, slow [G#] down, slow down [C#] Linda [C#]
[D#] Don't you know that I've been [D#] waiting for your compan-[G#]-y [G#]
