This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1:
(E riff is played twice for each line)
--------
E E E A E E E A
Small Jean Genie, she took off to the city,
E E E A E E E A
Strung out on lasers and slash-back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking 'bout Monroe while walking on snow white
New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice,
Poor little greenie...
Oowwooohoo
"Get back on me" (spoken)-> play B riff

Gene Genie, lives.....back
B riff
Jean Genie, lives on his back,
Jean Genie, loves Jimmy's ex,
"It's outrageous", he screams and he bawls,
Jean Genie, let yourself go!
A riff x2
Ohooo
Verse 2:
--------
Sits like an adder, he smiles like a reptile,
She love him, she love him, but just for a short while,
She's scratching the sand, won't let go of his hand,
He says he's a beautician, he sells you nutrition,
Keeps off your dead hair and making a bundle,
Poor little greenie, ooo oohooo
Chorus 2: Same as chorus 1
---------
Verse 3:
--------
He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module,
He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule
Solo-ish
