Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
She's  gonna hand you a red-headed  Gabriel,
Coming  from the bar in a plastic  tie.
He's  gonna swing from the Tree  of Life.
He's  gonna try to sell you on a great  big lie.
But  when you speak to her,
 Her eyes  light up.
The  music spills right into  your cup.
The  minstrels play and the waitress  brings ice.
There  are pies on a carousel.
Have  a slice.
But  watch out.
   pause  (silence)
 She ain't no good for you.
He's  gonna spin like the tractor  pull.
She'll  sit back when he tells  his tale.
He's  gonna yell when he drinks  his beer.
She'll  sit back and drink ginger  ale.
 But when you speak to her,
 Her eyes light up.
 The music spills right into your cup.
 It's so abrupt and it's so concise.
 There are pies on a carousel.
 Have a slice.
 But watch out.
She  ain't no good  for you.
I  say watch out.
She  ain't no good for you.
 Electric Guitar solo (haven't quite got that yet sorry)
She'd  like to put you in  her zoo,
 Right between  the canaries and the cockatoos.
 She'll pull  out your feathers
 For her brand  new hat,
And  when she's done that
 She'll feed  you to her cat.
So  watch out.
She  ain't no  good for you.
Watch  out.
She  ain't no  good for you.
Watch  out.
She  ain't no good for you.
