I always will remember twas a year ago November
       C                A7        D                  G
I went out to hunt some deer on a morning bright and clear
  C                 C7          F               Fm
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow
         C              G7             C
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow

I was in no mood to trifle I took down my trusty rifle
C                    A7          D                G
Went out to stalk my prey what a haul I made that day
  C               C7           F                   Fm
I tied them to my fender and I drove them home somehow

The law was very firm it, took away my permit
    Em              Em        B7
The worst punishment I ever endured
          Em                      B7
It turned out there was a reason, cows were out of season
    Em                Em*       B7     G
And one of the hunters wasn't insured


       C                        G7
People ask me how I do it and I say there's nothing to it
         C                   A7            D                   G
You just stand there looking cute and when something moves you shoot
            C           C7          F                 Fm       
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now
