I only know this song thanks to the very last 
episode of "The Shield". 
I play with a capo on the 1st fret because 
I'm half retarted when it comes to bar chords, 
particularly the Bb.

Its sounds pretty damn close to the real thing. Enjoy

When you turned out the light and walked out the door,
I said to myself.  What did I come here for?
Did you have a good time, drinking whisky and rhyme
and did you wanna be Bonnie and Clyde.

Verse

Bb (x1333x@1)                       FWhat (133211@1)goes on in your mind, what goes on in your head.
