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

<LYRICS>

VERSE 1

I met her while in France

We had a brief romance

She rubbed my arm I rubbed her arm

And then we dirty danced

She move down to LA

She met a dude OK

And sawed her head off with a knife

CHORUS

Now she's gone away......yeah

In a way.......yeah

In a way.......yeah

In a way.......yeah

Went away now

VERSE 2

California's nice

It's snowed there once or twice

Bullets fly across the sky

The path is smooth and tight

I caught one at the bus-stop

He set him in a mint jar

I felt the warm blood role down

Song Order: VERSE 1
