[If you know this bar chord, you can use it here to perfection.
i don't think mason does it this simply, but it'll get you there in a pinch]


B    E     G#m             A               B       E
12/8 time seemed to her to be some sort of life of crime
          G#m              A                  B       E
With the handcuffs and the billy clubs coming down on me
She said rock 'n roll don't give her nothing but bad dreams

   G#m                        A
So she planned my funeral and left me for dead
   G#m               A
A single corpse in a double bed
    G#m                   A
But now she's standing on my front porch
         B
She goes knock knock knock knock

Knock knock knock knock

E          B             E
She come a-knockin at my door
E              B             E
Now she come a-knockin at my door
E       B            E
Now her key it don't fit
E   B                 E
I'm not gonna let her in
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in

Now wouldn't you lookie here
She's got a perfume bottle and a fancy clothes
And a ribbon in her hair
Well she ain't bad-lookin', and I'll give her that
But she ain't all there
And her body ain't as sexy as her underwear
Her stomach ain't big enough I suppose
To eat up all the mean words that she spoke
She gonna try and ring quiet but the doorbell's broke
She gonna hafta knock knock knock, I said
You're gonna knock knock knock, yeah

She come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now she come a-knockin at my door
Now her key it don't fit
I'm not gonna let her in

She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
I said no-o-o,
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, let me in
She come a knock-knock, please
Oh good God please let me in
No no no no no...
Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin
Would I ever consider to begin to let you in
