If I'm playing by myself, I like to do the little bass fills in there too,

so I'll tab them out.

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

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!

(The horns play the next part, but if you don't have any (most likely)

I tabbed it out.)

~ - Vibrato (very little in this song, so don't overdo it)
