Intro & Verse: A (taking your finger on and off of the B string)
AShe (x02220@1)had a mental problem, she couldn't concentrate
She was her own delusion, she was her own mistake
She did a lot of acid, that put the voices down
And one day at her birthday, they found her hanging upside down

F (133211@1)                                 AThey (x02220@1)say she lived her life on the avenue
F (133211@1)                                        AThey (x02220@1)say she cried from the weight of her spit
F (133211@1)                                          AThey (x02220@1)claim they were the only ones that she ever knew
         FAh, (133211@1)but why are they weeping now?
              EWhen (022100@1)she was alive they were not around
                          AThey (x02220@1)were locked in their own abyss

(back to Intro thing)
AWe (x02220@1)met in the gutter, we shared a smoke or two
I told about my mother, she showed me her tattoo
She went out through the city, got lost in Fulton Town
And one day at her birthday, they found her hanging upside down

F (133211@1)                            AThey (x02220@1)say she live her life an American
F (133211@1)                           AThey (x02220@1)say she whored away for pills
F (133211@1)                                AThey (x02220@1)claim they offered her their helping hand
         FBut (133211@1)the talk's all the same to me
             EThey (022100@1)call themselves her family
                  GIt (320003@1)just makes me ill

(the end)


the G sounds like he's got a Db note thrown in there on the version i have, but I prefer 
plain G, it sounds just as well. (if not better)
