Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)


Intro:

F minorFm AbAb

Verse 1:


C majorC               E minorEm
Little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain
FF               AbAb         C majorC        A minorAm
Nothing stops the go-to girl, nothing takes the place of taking aim
C majorC                 E minorEm
Little wendy's out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes
FF
Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
AbAb           C majorC        A minorAm
Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair

Chorus:

A minorAm FF
She sells and moves and finds my hand
   Bb majorBb                FF
And pulls me down and close so I can hardly stand
FF                Bb majorBb              FF
As I lay like dead for her, I'm fed into my head I'm led, oh, I am sand
   BB                 Bb majorBb
I'm crawling from the window, crawling down the wall
           FF
I'm happy screaming, yes, I am
   BB
I'm jumping on her daisy chain
   Bb majorBb                  FF
I'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man


Verse 2:

C majorC              E minorEm
Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and
FF
I could squeeze her grabby hand
AbAb       C majorC       A minorAm
Knowing that I never paid her for a gram

 FF
She's a drunken doxy off her trolly
 Bb majorBb               FF
Sent before her time into this poxy world
FF                Bb majorBb
She's not fit for anything but dealing it
            FF
While heaven sings, I have this girl
    BB
She's got me eating rice and beans
  Bb majorBb                 FF
I have no shape nor color, I'm god's lonely man
  BB               Bb majorBb
I don't want to die but I don't want to live
           FF
I'm speeding like a rocket man
