Yeah white skin freckles big heart candy green eyes
I bet you wish you had your red-headed woman back sometime
Yeah the last thing you got was a left handed letter
    Chord diagramD5D5                         Chord diagramD7D7   Chord diagramG7G7
And you opened up the seal like you didn?t even know better

*Bridge*
(keep it slow)

Chord diagramE7E7
And don?t you know the spoon?s getting low
Chord diagramG7G7
You worry and you wonder just where all the honey goes
Chord diagramE7E7
And you?re hoping and you?re praying real hard
Chord diagramG7G7
If you will it you can wish it if heaven has a honey jar

(Then go back into main verse riff and repeat a lot for solo. Not figuring it out cause
this is blues, make your own, have fun, go nuts, Chord diagramD MajorD is a really easy key)

(After 16/32 bars, just strum chords once for-
