and she's never missed a day of work

verse 3:(same chords)

(palm mute chords)

the white girl couldn't go on knowing

that she was just here wasting time

she drowned in the lake last night

(chords back to normal)

they found her bloated body floating

but she still walks around

performing all her daily chores

she still don't know

RIFF2

what life's about

repeat chorus

end on G5
