Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
| Cm     |


Verse 1:
Cm
  I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap
Gm
  I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
F
 My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
G7                                     Cm
  But I'm noted most for my unspoiled agenda

Verse 2:
          Cm
I've been made Miss Rheingold, though I never touch beer
Gm
  And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, My Dear."
F
 The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass
        G7                                 Cm
And the closest I've been to a bar, was at ballet class


Verse 3:
C
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
    Gm                                  Cm
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
                              Gm
Like something that seeks its level
                  Ab
I wanna go to the devil


Refrain:
           Fm  Cm        G
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
           C                  G       C
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
           Fm    C              G
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
           C                   Fm
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies


Verse 4:
          Bbm7           Db7
I want to wake up in the morning
         Ab7
With that   dark brown taste
G
 I want to see some dissipation in my face
           Fm  Cm           G
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
              C7             Fm
But more than that I wanna be  bad


Verse 5:
           Ebm7               Fm
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace
        Ab7
Just to see my partner's face
           Ebm7             Fm
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be  cruel
           Ab7                   Eb7
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
           Eb7
And in the theatre
         Gb7      Eb
I want to  change my seat
Ab7
Just so I can step on

Everybody's feet


Refrain:
           Dbm7               F7
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
             Eb7
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
           Ebm7                  F7
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
                  G                Eb7
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose


Tag:
           Abm7         Ebm7     Eb7
I wanna be evil, little evil me
                 Eb7     B7  Bb7  Eb7
Just as mean and evil as I   can  be
