Big Boned Gal

BIG BONED GAL
As recorded by K.D. Lang
(From the 1989 Album ABSOLUTE TORCH AND TWANG)
 
 
 
[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
She was a big boned gal
A
From southern Alberta
A
You just couldn't call her small
A
And you can bet every Saturday night
A
She'd be heading for the legion hall
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Put her blue dress on
A
And she'd curl her hair
A
Oh she's been waiting all week

A
And with a bounce in her step
A
And a wiggle in her walk
A
She'd be swinging down the street
 
 
{ CHORUS }
          B7
You could tell she was ready
B7
By the look in her eye
B7
As she slipped in through the crowd
    D
She walked with grace
D
As she entered the place
                          E7
Ya, the big boned gal was proud
 
 
[Fiddle Solo]
A
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
Now people would come
A
From miles around
A
And gather there to dance
A
But when the big boned gal came shufflin' in
A
She'd hold them in a trance
 
 
[Bridge]
          B7
You could tell she was ready
B7
By the look in her eye
B7
As she slipped in through the crowd
    D
She walked with grace
D
As she entered the place
                          E7
Ya, the big boned gal was proud
 
 
{ CHORUS }
A
Hey hey the big boned gal
B7
Ain't no doubt she's a natural
D7
Shakin' and a'snakin'
      E                      A
And a'breakin' up across the floor
A
Hey hey the big boned gal
B7
Ain't no doubt she's a natural
D7
Reelin' and a'rockin'
          E               A
And she's yelling out for more
 
 
[Interlude]
A   B7   D7  E  A
 
 
[Verse 4]
A
She was a big boned gal
A
From southern Alberta
A
You just couldn't call her small

And you can bet every Saturday night
