for this to be in the right key you have to put the capo all the way up to the 
10th fret, so im sure i didnt do this right but you get the idea.
:^D
CI once Ghad a girlfriend
AmBut then one Emday she dumped me
FAnd everywhere I go Gpeople would ask me Cwhere she was
FI don't want to Gtalk about her
FSomeone always aGsks about her
FSo I tell them aGll: my girlfriend's Cdead
CI say it's lGeukemia or Amsometimes buEmlimia
FOr a great big truck ran Gher over and Cchopped off her head
FI don't want to Gtalk about her
FBut someone alwaGys asks about her
FSo I tell them aGll: Cshe's dead
CI guess there's Ga part of me
AmThat lacks Emsympathy
FOh, the looks on their Gfaces when I tell them
CHow she passed away
FI don't want to Gtalk about her
FBut someone always Gasks about her
FSo I tell them Gall shes Cdead
AmMy girlfriend's dead , you Esee
AmIt's a total lie Ebut it's easier on me
FThan having to Gadmit that she likes someone Celse
AmMy girlfriend's dead , you Fknow
AmPlease change the Esubject, I'm going to go
FJump off a builGding and join her in heavenC  
FI don't want to Gtalk about her
FBut someone alwaGys asks about her
FSo I tell them aGll: Cshe's dead
CI once Ghad a girlfriend
AmBut then one Emday she dumped me
FAnd everywhere I go Gpeople would ask me Cwhere she was
FI don't want to Gtalk about her
FSomeone always aGsks about her
FSo I tell them aGll: my girlfriend's Cdead
