My Dtrue love drowned in a F#mdirty old pan
Of Goil that did run from the Dblock
Of a Bmfalcon sedan nineGteen sixty nineEm  
The Gpaper said '7D5
      D*
There were no survivors
GNone found aDlive
DTrees break the sidewaaaF#maaalk
And the Gsidewalk skins my Dknees
There's Bmglass in my thermos
And Gblood on my jeans
BmNickels and dimes of the Gfourth of july
BmRoll off in a Gcrooked line
                    D*
where the red tails dive
Oh how I forgDot what it's Glike
Chorus:
DHey, when she sings, when she sings
when she sings like she Gmaj7runs
Moves like she Emruns
DHey, when she moves, when she moves
when she moves like she Gmaj7runs
Moves like she Emruns
DHey there, there’s such tender wolves
‘round Gtown tonight
Round the Emtown tonight
DHey there, there’s such tender wolves
‘round Gmaj7town tonight
Round the Emtown tonight
Verse:
DHey pretty baby get F#mhigh with me,
We can Ggo to my sisters if we Dsay we'll watch the baby
The Bmlook on your face yanks my Gneck on the chain
And BmI would do anything (I would do anything)
            D*
To see you again
So I’ve fallen beDhiiiiiinGd…
Verse:
DGo on, go on F#mscream and cry
You're Gmiles from where anyone will Dfind you
This is Bmnothing new, no Gtelevision crew
They Gdon't even put on the Dsirens
