Verse:    F#5  E5

You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
D5             E5                  F#5        ---> play this F#5 on the 2nd fret
You'd better do something for your own sake
D5           E5
Yes it's a shame
C#5                                 B5   D5  F5  G#5
Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big G

Yes it's a shame

Ah you know you're a living wreck
