These are somewhat accurate. It sounds most like the studio recording I believe.
YDou wanted to bBmuy me 
AFor a hundred euro 
YDou said you'd Bmtake me 
ATo your little car 
YDour friend lived Bmnear by 
AHe had a house and all 
WDhere was i frBmom you said 
AYou guessed yugoslavia 
Well Dit's not AyogoslavBmia 
             D          A    Bm(note: I do not think the A chord is right, but it sounds decent)
It's not yugoslavia at all 
It reminded me 
Of a movie i just saw 
About a little girl 
From yugoslavia 
She got sent away 
They made her prostitute 
She ate mcdonald's all day 
And never had a chance to play

You wanted to buy me 
For a hundred euro 
You said you'd take me 
To your little car 
Your friend lived near by 
He had a house and all 
Where was i from you said 
You guessed yugoslavia 
But it's not yugoslavia 
It's hardly yugoslavia at all
