I took two shots,got no ducks and cold, cold hands.
                D           C      
Last night when I was out drinking, 
  Am       D7          G    G7
trying to have a good time.
     C                     G      Em
The Lady with whom I was speaking 
  A                   A7           D7
thougt I was feeding her some old line.
         G         D             C
When I spoke of a cold winter's morning, 
   Am               D         G   G7
a duck blind and a river of gray.
     C             Am         G  Em
The sound of the snow softly falling 
         A              A7       D7
when I thought I heard somebody say:
          C   D         C  G         D7         G
"I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold hands."

                     D          C      
I could tell by the gaze of my comrades 
     Am        D7            G    G7
that I was the one who had spoke.
     C                        G      Em
Their eyes held a message of patience, 
       A           A7          D7
the thrill of the hunt and of hope.
         G         D             C
But when I spoke again how they listened 
         Am         D           G   G7
for the wisdom of what I might say.
        C             Am           G   Em
If the good Lord had meant us to shoot one, 
      A           A7             D7
he'd surely send more ducks our way.
          C   D         C  G         D7         G
"I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold hands."

                     D          C      
Well,the lady with whom I was speaking, 
     Am                  D         G    G7
she laughed lightly and wandered away.
    C                          G    Em
My heart like the snow in my story, 
      A           A7               D7
fell silent, I'd hoped she would stay.
         G       D           C
It's so nice to talk to somebody,
    Am                 D           G   G7
to find someone who's willing to share.
    C             Am            G    Em
I know that this life is worth living, 
     A            A7         D7
but sometimes it just isn't fair.
          C   D         C  G         D7          G
"I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold hands."
          C   D         C  G         D7          G
"I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold hands."
