**********THIS IS A HUGE PART OF GETTING THIS TO SOUND RIGHT****************
For lack of a better term , I'll refer to this as C7, but I know it's not. Simply play a 
C, but lift your first finger. Whatever the hell it is, play it like this:
C5
e | --0-- | 
B | --0-- | 
G | --0-- | 
D | --2-- | 
A | --3-- | 
E | --0-- | 

Together the verse line will be:
C5 C5 A5 G5

That being said, here it is:

C5         C5      A5      G5
Missy got off the bus one day
     C5          C5        A5     G5
In a crowded depot in downtown L.A.
    C5        C5      A5    G5        F5
She looked around as if to say "I'm home"
          C5
But I'm home.
       C5           C5            A5       G5
I find someone to love and some place to drink
         C5        C5          A5       G5
And some time when I can just sit and think
       C5         C5    A5       G5               F5
And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones
               C5
Lord of these drones
        F5                   G5
Said as long as I'm never alone
F5     C5


C5               C5     A5         G5
She had eyes as big as porceline plates
    C5       C5       A5    G5
And skin as thin as paper drapes
        C5         C5             A5        G5     F5
And she loved the lord the way an apostate loves songs
F5     C5
          C5       C5             A5       G5
And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep
   C5       C5     A5      G5
"I pray to you my soul to keep
     C5       C5       A5       G5           F5
Your shepard and I'll be your sheep until dawn
         C5
Oh until dawn"
          F5                              C5 G5 F5 C5
She said "I'd follow you even if it was wrong"


C5             C5           A5      G5
I met her one night at the coffee shop
    C5        C5      A5           G5
Her face so wide my heart just stopped
   C5     C5     A5       G5           F5
Hello my dear I fear I'm not what I seem
                C5
I'm not what I seem
   C5        C5     A5     G5
I should've been a better man
  C5          C5     A5       G5
I should be more deserving than
    C5        C5        A5     G5         F5
The beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been
              C5
Oh that I've been
F5                                        C5 G5 F5 C5
But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams


       C5            C5         A5      G5
But I swear there's still some good in me
       C5         C5     A5         G5
If you stuck around I think you'd see
         C5        C5          A5      G5         F5
All the honest attempts at integrity I've been had

C5             C5                A5     G5
Maybe if you helped me I could get it right
  C5     C5  A5    G5
I lie awake every night
C5              C5       A5             G5        F5
Staring at the cieling wondering why I feel so bad
               C5
Why I feel so bad
F5                                             C5 G5 F5 C5
But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad


End on C


That's about it. If it doesn't sound right, you're probably playing a real C7 instead of 
lifting your first finger. Hope this helped.
