 well she blew.. took  all   money

Notes:

The song is probably at capo 7, because sometimes
he does this:

 !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !
|-0---3-------------------------|
|---------------------3---------|
|---------------3/4-----------4-|
|---------2---------------0-----|
|-3-----------------------------|
|-----------------3~~-----------|

And that fits way better at the 7th capo. You
can redo it that way if you please; I'm too lazy.

The "times were never so good" part can be arpeggiated, like this:

 !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !
|-------------------------------|
|---------1-----------1-------1-|
|---------3---------------3-----|
|-----2-------2-----------2-----|  etc., as you hear it
|-3-----------------------------|
|-----------------3-------------|

You may want to look for a better chord for the
"took all my money" bit
