{st:Written by Dickie Thompson, performed by Bill Haley and His Comets}
{st:Tabbed by Mike Johnson}

{c:The basic riff runs as B-Bb-B E, ad nauseum, with a chorus break (A - G)}
{c:every now and then.  When I play the rhythm guitar part (the brass section)}
{c:I usually do something like:}

   B   Bb  B   E (hold)
---------------7---------------------------
---------------9---------------------------
---------------9---------------------------
---------------9---------------------------
---------------7---------------------------
---7---6---7---7---------------------------

{c:Underneath the text, I'll put a carat (^) where the E comes in. A few listens}
{c:to the record should give you the idea how the rhythm goes.  Simple chord}
{c:progression, GREAT to improvise over, and take in weird jazzy directions.}

[^]Last night I was [^]dreamin', I [^]dreamed about the H-[^]bomb, 
Well the [^]bomb went off and [^]I was caught, I was the [^]only man on the [^]ground,
There was [^]13 women and [^]only one man in [^]town,[^]
[^]13 women and [^]only one man in [^]town.[^]
And as [^]funny as it may [^]be, the [A]one and only man in [G]town was me, 
With [^]13 women and [^]me the only man a[^]round.[^]

I had [^]2 girls every [^]morning [^]seein' that I was well-[^]fed,
And bel[^]ieve you me one [^]sweetened my tea while the [^]other one buttered my [^]bread.
[^]2 gals gave me my [^]money, [^]2 gals made me my [^]clothes,
And a[^]nother sweet young thing brought me a [^]diamond ring, about [^]40 karats, I sup[^]pose.
Well, [^]13 women and [^]only one man in [^]town,[^]

There was [^]13 women and [^]only one man in [^]town.[^]
It was [^]something that I can't for[^]get, 
Because I [A]think of those 13 [G]women yet,
Well, [^]13 women and [^]only one man a[^]round.     [^]    

{c:SOLO LIKE CRAZY}

I had [^]3 gals dancing a [^]mambo, [^]3 girls balling the [^]jack,
And [^]all of the rest really [^]did their best, boy they [^]sure were a lively [^]pack.
[^]I thought that I was in [^]Heaven and [^]all of these angels were [^]mine,
But [^]I woke up and I [^]hated the dream, 'cos I [^]had to get to work on [^]time.
Well, [^]13 women and [^]only one man a[^]round,[^]
There was [^]13 women and [^]only one man in [^]town,[^]
No I [^]can't tell you where I've [^]been, 
'Cos I [A]kind of think someday I'll go [G]back again,
To those [^]13 women and [^]me the only man a[^]round.[^]
Well, [^]13 women and [^]only one man a[^]round,[^]   [^]13 women and [^]only one man a[^]round.[^]
