Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
She's  a crooked Sheriff in a real  straight town
 She opened the door shake shake the lights go down
Clover  honey and the Jimson Weed
 Red  leather skirt way up above her knees
Oh  yeah, my  baby's  lowdown
 She's a gone lost dirt road
 There ain't no way back I been told
 Well she's a story they all tell
 She's a rebel, she's a yell
 Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
White  heat in a cold rain
 I'm  a mergin here in your mergin lane
 Jockey  La Fayette, Big Eyed Al
 The second  hand moon's shining for my gal
 She's a big red flag in a mean bullpen
 She'll steal it from you, sell right
 Back to you again
 Well she's a whild rose, she's not settled
 Cold gun of ice blue metal, oh
 My baby's lowdown
 White heat in a cold rain
 I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
 Jockey la Fayette, Big Eyed Al
 She's a cheap motel with a burned out sign
 She'll take care of you definitely every time
 She got a stolen check book and leg's upto here
 Singing into a hairbrush
 Right in front of the mirror
 Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
