I don’t even know your name    (Listen to midi)    (sample)

 

    D ~                   D

1.      Well, I was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41,

 

    you were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done,

          G

    I knew you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth,

           D

    of course you weren't my waitress, mine was missing her front tooth.

             A                                                   G

    So I flagged you down for coffee, but I couldn't say a thing,

                    D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  A                         D      - D7

    but I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name.

 

          G

I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name,

        D

I've never been too good at all those sexual games.

        G

So maybe it's just better, if we leave it this way,

          D  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   A                          D

I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your  name.

 

    G - D - A - D       - G - D - A - D ~

 

            D

2. So I ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot,

 

    I asked you for a date, and then I asked to tie the knot.

       G

    I got a little wasted, yeah I went a little far,

             D

    but I finally got to hug you, when you helped me to my car.

             A                                   G

    The last thing I remember I heard myself say,

                D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -     A                         D       - D7

    “I'm in love with you baby, and I don't even know your name.”

 

+ CHORUS      + G - D - A - D       - G - D - A - D ~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

             D

3. The next thing I remember, I was hearing wedding bells,

 

    standing by a woman in a long white lacy veil.

       G

    I raised the veil, she smiled at me without her left front tooth,

                            D

    and I said, “Where the hell am I, and just who the hell are you?”

            A                                                    G

   She said, “I was your waitress and our last name's now the same,

                        D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    A                         D    - D7

    'cause I’m married to you baby and I don't even know your name.”

 

         G

I'm married to a waitress, I don't even know her name.

         D

I've never been too good at all those sexual games.

    G

I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way,

                 D  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   A                       D

hey, I'm married to a waitress and I don't even know her name.

 

    + G - D - A - D       - G - D - A - D…
