A                 D                E                   A
Laugh and say I'm green, I've seen things you've never seen
A              D         E              A
Talk behind my back, I'm off the beaten track.
Bb           F            D                   A     
I'll take on anyone, ain't scared of a bloody nose 

Bb           F               D             Dsus4/E   A     Asus2/E
Drink till I drop down, with one eye on my clothes.

[chorus]
F       C     Dm    Bb      F    C     Dm     Bb     
   What is it? I'll take it. Who is she? I'll rape it. 

F       C        Dm     Bb     F         C   Dm          Bb       E
  Got a bet there? I'll meet it. Gettin' high? You can't beat it.

Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim, when I'm pilled you don't notice him. 
Em              C          D        E        E
  He only comes out when I drink my gin

A               D           E                A
You say she's a virgin, but I'm gonna be the first in. 
E                 D        E                A
Her fella's gonna kill me, oh, fucking will he. 
Bb             F             D              A
  I'm seeing d-double, don't miss me if you can. 
Bb                 F                 D           Dsus2  A  Asus2/E
  There's gonna be trouble, when she chooses her man.

Is it me, for a moment        The stars are falling.

The heat is rising,
Eb       Cm7 Abmaj9
The past is calling.

I'm going back soon, home to get that baboon. 
E          D       E          A     
Who cut up my eye, tore up my Levis
Bb            F                D            A
  I'm feelin' restless, bring another score around.
Bb                F               D              E        A  Asus2/E
  Maybe something stronger, could really hold me down...
