If I'm playing by myself, I like to do the little bass fills in there too,
so I'll tab them out.

Strum these chords a bit.

[Verse 1]
Em
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
N.C.
Had a drink about an hour ago
Am
Sitting in a corner by herself
B           C        B
In a bar in downtown hell
Em
She heard a noise and she looked to the door
N.C.
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Am
Light skin, light blue eyes
B                   C       B
A double chin and a plastic smile
Em
Her heart raced as he walked through the door
N.C.
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
B
'My brand new car is parked right outside
Am
How'd you like to go for a ride?' And she said
Em
'Wait a minute I have to think'
N.C.
He said 'That's fine may I please buy you a drink?'
B
One drink turned into 3 or 4
         C            B        Em
And they left and got into his car
         C               B          Em
And they drove away some place real far
Em
Now babe, the time has come
 
How'd you like to have a little fun? And she said
B                 C                G
'If we could only please be on our way,
            D             Em
I would not run'
Em
That's when things got out of control
Em         C    B
She didn't want to
Em     C   B
He had his way
Em       C     B
She said let's go
Em      C  B
He said no way
B                                  C   B
Come on babe it's your lucky day
B                                          C  B
Shut your mouth we're gonna do it my way
B                              C  B
Come on baby don't be afraid
B
If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid
 
(Now it's solo time!  This is the general gist of it, though there are some subtle
tweaks that I couldn't catch, but I know are there.  When I've tabbed out the 10^^^10,
You have to hit the ten, bend it up to a 12 and hold it while you hit 12 on the high E string,
and then hit the bent ten again while bringing it down.  It's a Chuck Berry riff, a little
difficult to get used to but sounds great.  It's also used in the latter half of the solo,
where you bend up 10 and hit 7 as well)

[Verse 2]
Em
He finished up, started the car
N.C.
He turned around and drove back to the bar
Am
He said 'Now baby, don't be sad,'
B                   C            B
'In my opinion, you weren't half bad.'
Em
She picked up a rock.
N.C.
Threw it at the car.
N.C.
Hit him in the head
N.C.
Now he's got a big scar
Am
Come on, party people won't you listen to me
B         C
Date rape stylee
Em
The next day, she went to her drawer
 
Looked up her local attorney-at-law
B
Went to the phone and filed a police report
Am
And then she took the guy's ass to court
Em
The day he stood in front of the judge
N.C.
He screamed 'She lies, that little slut!'
B
The judge knew he was full of shit
      C        B  Em
So he gave him 25 years
            C        B           Em
And now his heart is filled with tears
Em
One night in jail, it was getting late
 
He was butt-raped by a large inmate
B
And he screamed
        C              G                D
But the guards paid no attention to his cries
Em
That's when things got out of control
Em        C  B
The moral of the
Em        C  B
Date rape story
Em          C  B
It does not pay
Em              C  B
To be drunk and horny
B                                C  B
But that's the way it had to be
B
They locked him up and threw away the key
     C  B
Well I can't take pity on men of his kind
C  B
Even though he now takes it in the behind
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
B                                C  B
But that's the way it had to be
B
They locked him up and threw away the key
     C  B
Well I can't take pity on men of his kind
C  B
Even though he now takes it in the behind
N.C.
Date rape!
 
[Solo]
 
(The horns play the next part, but if you don't have any (most likely)
I tabbed it out.)
