NOTE: You can play the A Asus4 portion with the first line of the verse or not. They do it both ways live.
If you choose to not play it with the words play it right after.
It's a great song. Here is a live version of SHURMAN performing it at SXSW with John Popper:

N.C.
She was lit up like Times Square on New Years Eve
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
D E
Rolling down the avenue crashing in the streets
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
No ove ever told her that things could get rough
D E
Trying to be a model actress working in a restaurant
N.C.
If the Cocaine don’t kill her the pills probably will
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
D E
Never seem to have a problem getting the prescriptions filled
[CHORUS]
D E A D
There’s a red one to calm you down and there’s a yellow one that brings you back around
E A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
It’s all part of a Small Town Tragedy
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
Billy was an honest man until he got caught
D E
Selling to a businessman who turned out to be a cop
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
He did a little planning how he'd buy a car
D E
Selling little baggies to strangers at the bar
D E A D
There’s a green one to calm you down and there’s a brown one that sends you right down town
E A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
It’s all part of a Small Town Tragedy
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
Well Shelly has a little boy who will never know his dad
D E
Never get to have the things other children have
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
So she’s dancing at the truck stop just to pay the bills
D E
Nasty little habit she once called cheap thrills
D E A D
There’s a red one to calm you down and there’s another one that brings you back around
E A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
It’s all part of a Small Town Tragedy

Watch out for the purple one that makes you talk real loud
