[A]=[G]..[E]=[D]..[D]=[C]..[B7]=[A7]
Note 3: Each / mark means a basic strum.

Capo 2nd fret
Intro: [A]//// //// //// //// //// //// //// ////
Umm-yeeeaaahhhh //// //// //// ////
[A] When I look in her eyes It ain't no surprise
Sparks start a flyin' like the 4th of July
She gets me so hot and my heart starts a pumpin'
When we get to kissin', there ain't no stoppin'
When it [E] comes to love she ain't no slacker
[A] My little darlin' is a firecracker //// //// //// ////
[A] When I light the fuse, I gotta get back quick
You gotta be careful with a dynamite stick
Son of a gun she's fun to handle
And she packs a punch like a roman candle
She's a [E] pack of black cats in a red paper wrapper
[A] My little darlin' is a firecracker //// ////
We [D] might not ought to take a roll in the hay
'Cause we'd [A] burn the barn down one of these days
We're a [D] match made in heaven and it ain't no joke //// //// //
But I'd [B7] sure I hate to see it go [E] up in smoke //// //
We got a [A] good thing going and it feels so [D] right //// ////
She's a [A] firecracker, she's the [E] light of my [A] life //// //// //// ////
[A] She goes off with a great big BANG
Boys I tell ya it's a beautiful thing
She takes off you better hang on tight
She's a blonde bottle rocket in the middle of the night
[E] When she makes love she's a heart attacker
[A] My little darlin' is a firecracker //// ////
We [D] might not ought to take a roll in the hay
'Cause we'd [A] burn the barn down one of these days
We're a [D] match made in heaven and it ain't no joke //// //// //
But I'd [B7] sure I hate to see it go [E] up in smoke //// //
We got a [A] good thing going and it feels so [D] right //// ////

Uhhh haaa
[A]//// //// [D]//// //// [B7]//// // [E]////

Well, she's a [A] firecracker, she's the [E] light of my [A] life //// ////
