I have seen several versions of this song in the archives, but I couldn't

   Annie's twelve years old in two more she'll be a whore

   Don't be afraid with the        quickness you get laid for your

   Not because she only wants the wrong way

   I gave her all that I          had to give but she
   Still wouldn't take it                oh no
   Her two brown eyes are leaking like a sieve and it

B                           D
E--7----7----7----7---------10---10---10-----

D--9----9----9----9---------12---12---12?----
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
   Still ruins her makeup I never wanted...


Notes:
- You can see that the Verse repeats. The chord patterns are:
  A G, F# E, B A, E D, and this is played twice.

- I separated the Outro because it doesn?t follow the pattern.
  You?d expect to play A G at that point.

- I don?t usually play all the strings I?ve indicated here. I
  find just playing the last two strings sounds good enough.
