Once Bitten Twice Shy by Great White
Once Bitten Twice Shy
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C
Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
G D
I'm a humming and a strumming, 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
Bb
You didn't know what rock and roll was,
Eb
until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
Bb
I got there in the nick of time,
Eb C
before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 2]
C
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
G D
And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold
C
You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
G D
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
Bb
You didn't know how rock and roll looked,
Eb
until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Bb
Halfway home in the parking lot,
Eb
by the look in her eye she was giving what she got
[Chorus]
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby,
C F
my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F G
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
[Verse 3]
C
Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
G D
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
C
Can't keep you home, you're messing around
G D
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
Bb
You didn't know that rock and roll burned,
Eb
so you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
Bb
You got the rhythm you got the speed,
Eb
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
[Chorus]
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby,
C F
my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F G
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
[Solo]
C G D C G D
[Verse 4]
Bb
I didn't know you had a rock and roll record,
Eb
until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
Bb
You told me I was the only one,
Eb
but look at you now, it's dark and you're gone
[Chorus]
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby,
C F
my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby,
C F
my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby

[C5]You can't remember when you got your last meal
And [G5]you don't know just how a [D5]woman feels

3. Tabs
There are two rhythm guitars, but I don't have a clue who's who.
So I just call them rhythm guitar 1 (the guitar panned to your right
speaker) and 2 (the guitar panned to your left speaker).

The Bb- and the Eb-chords are quite a stretch in first position. I've
choosen for this as the low F can only be reached in the first
position. You can also play these chords in the sixth position but
then the distance to the low F is very large.
This would be the alternative:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

[Solo]
The backing for the solo is the same as the first eight bars of
the chorus.
Before you start with the solo you'll have to learn an old country-lick
which is used in rock many times (if you don't know it already).
Play the following triad:
E|--8--| E|-----| For this E|-----|
B|--8--| Now it's B|-----| lick you B|-----|
G|--9--| about this G|--9--| have to G|-7b9-|
D|-----| note: D|-----| bend the D|-----|
A|-----| A|-----| note up A|-----|
E|-----| E|-----| from the E|-----|
7th pos.
In order to place E|--8--| Play the bend with E|-8---|
this into the B|--8--| your ringfinger B|-8---|
chord you'll G|-----| (supported by the G|-7b9-|
have to place D|-----| middle finger and/or D|-----|
a small bar A|-----| the index finger if A|-----|
with your pinky E|-----| necessary) E|-----|
on the 8th pos.

(the chorus is exactly like the intro)
repeat verse then play a solo
Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
I'm a-humming and a-strumming all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock and roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
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 looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock and 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 eye, she was giving what she got
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
Oh, woman, you're a mess going to die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messing around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock and roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
Alright
I didn't know you had a rock and roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now, it's dark and you're gone
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy
Ooh, so shy
So shy, so shy
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy

I'm a-humming and a-strumming all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock and roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
