OK, I know this isn't a faithful exact copy of the song,
   but if you are playing on an acoustic, on your own,
   this is a simplistic, pared down version that's quite soothing
   to play.
            As always any mistakes are mine, if you see any howlers
            let me know and I'll sort it.
               If you like it    RATE IT

      For this riff,  just put your fingers in the Am position
      then use your pinkie finger in the E string 3rd fret,
      then you can drag strum or pick with your index finger,
      while your thumb picks the bass notes on the E and A strings

  I stood on the roof, of Stuart's old dodge

  To get a better look at the Fledderjohn's lodge

  Bait shop, Pistols and ammo too

  Nothing but books about World War Two

  Rottweiler, Doberman, Pinkerton guard

  I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard

 
  I ain't allowed, No, I ain't allowed

  I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard


  I seen a python swallow a doberman whole

  Piranha swimming in a mixing bowl

  Papers full of stabbings, The sky is full of crows

  She's singing in Italian, While she's hanging out her clothes

  Carp in the bathtub, And it's raining real hard

  I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard


  I ain't allowed, No, I ain't allowed

  I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard


  Well a sailor's ringing doorbells, Sinners in the pew

  The weather vane is squeaking to the west

  I seen the cliffs of Dover and the deepest ocean blue

  The one thing in the world I can recommend to you


  'Cause I ain't allowed,   No,  I ain't allowed

  No,  I ain't allowed, In Buzz Fledderjohn's yard
