   Annie's twelve years old in two more she'll be a whore
   Nobody ever told her it's the   wrong way
   Don't be afraid with the        quickness you get laid for your
   Family get paid it's the        wrong way

   So we ran away and I'm         sorry when I say that straight
   To this very day it was the    wrong way
   She took a hike                don't matter if I like it or
   Not because she only wants the wrong way

   I gave her all that I          had to give but she
   Still wouldn't take it                oh no

Notes:
- You can see that the Verse repeats. The chord patterns are:
  A G, F# E, B A, E D, and this is played twice.
 
- I separated the Outro because it doesn’t follow the pattern.
  You’d expect to play A G at that point.
 
- I don’t usually play all the strings I’ve indicated here. I
  find just playing the last two strings sounds good enough.
