VERSE 1:
      A                                D
Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction
      A                             E
Where I saw somethin' I just had to have
   A                               D
My mind said I should proceed with caution
       A               E                      A      (stop)
But my heart said "Go ahead an' make a bid on that!"

CHORUS:
            A
An' I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign
A
Id' give anything to make you mine all mine
     D                   E                 A
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call
A
Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine
A
Man, I gotta have her, she' a one-of-a-kind
    D           E
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
    A     (second time go to *)
I'm sold! On the lady in the seccond row
A
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know
A
She's got ruby-red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
A                                       A D A E (play 2x)
An' I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

VERSE 2:
A                                            D
Well the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute
       A                                E
He was takin' bids an' callin' them out loud
      A                             D
An' I guess I was really gettin' in it
       A              E             A      (stop)
'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd!

REPEAT CHORUS
*
A
I'm sold! On the lady in the long black dress
A
Well, she won my heart it was no contest
A
With her ruby-red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
A                                    A D A E (1x only)
I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

BRIDGE:
E
Yeah, we found love on the auction block
      A6
An' I hauled her heart away
    G
Now we still love to laugh about
    E
The way we met that day

REPEAT CHORUS
