PISTOL
As recorded by The Band Perry
(2026 release)
[Intro]
E A E D A
[Verse 1]
E D A
Walked up, said I'm the only ten he sees
E D A
Assumed I'd want a pink umbrella in my drink
E D A
Tipped the band to play a song to make me dance
E
Ain't a snowball's chance in hell he's ever got a chance
E
He said, "please"
E
I said, "no"
A
There's still tags on his Stetson
E
'Bout to shoot off my mouth
A
Like a pearl Smith and Wesson
[Chorus]
E D A
I'm kill-kill-killing him, I guess he got triggered
E D A
He's spill-spill-spillin' pick up lines like it's liquor
G E
Easy target, wasn't hard
D A
He's sweating bullets now
G
He calls me a pistol
A E
'Cause I'm shooting 'em down
A
Like birds on a wire
A
Like cans on the porch
E
Little southern spitfire
A
Ain't nothin' I ain't been called before
[Verse 2]
E D A
I broke him to pieces like a clay pigeon
E D A
The way he's acting only gives me ammunition
E D A
I need a smoke, but I don't need his lighter
E D A
Sometimes shooting your shot backfires
[Chorus]
E D A
'Cause I'm kill-kill-killing him, I guess he got triggered
E D A
He's spill-spill-spillin' pick up lines like it's liquor
G E
Easy target, wasn't hard
D A
He's sweating bullets now
G
He calls me a pistol
A E
'Cause I'm shooting 'em down
A
Like birds on a wire
A
Like cans on the porch
E
Little southern spitfire
A
Ain't nothin' I ain't been called before
[Guitar Solo]
E A E A E A E A
[Bridge]
E
There's this hole in the wall
A
He's got a hole in his chest
E
It's too bad that his heart ain't got
A
A bullet proof vest
[Chorus]
E D A
'Cause I'm kill-kill-killing him, I guess he got triggered
E D A
He's spill-spill-spillin' pick up lines like it's liquor
G E
Easy target, wasn't hard
D A
He's sweating bullets now
G
He calls me a pistol
A
But y'all I'm more of a missile
G
He called me a pistol
A E
'Cause I'm shooting 'em down
[Outro]
D A E
Yeah, pow pow pow
D A E
Yeah, I'm shooting 'em down
D
Woo
A E D A E
Pow pow pow
