 riff again, except no Dsus2
 *verse*
Jodie  wears a hat although it
Hasn't  rained for six days
 She says a girl  needs a gun these days
 Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She  reads Simone  de Beauvoir  in her American circumstance
 *verse pattern twice*
 She's less than sure if her
 Heart has come to stay in san jose
 And her neverborn child still haunts her
 As she speeds down the freeway
 As she tries her luck with the traffic police
 Out of boredom more than spite
 She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
 She's obvious despite herself
 *verse pattern once*
 Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are
 Always needles in the hay
 She says that a girl needs a gun these days
 Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
 E D on fade with the riff thrown in when appro.
