** I am referencing this recording, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUkSTnUK_T0&feature=youtu.be ,
to write this tab, per the UG community's request. The request is for Chords, but I feel it would
be silly to not at least write out the tabs for the Intro and Hook, which painstakingly took
4hrs : Enjoy! Once you have the Intro and Hook down then it should be easy to follow the lead sheet.

D
Oh gold digger took my money yeah
Dipped my heart and hands in honey
Oh Snake Lady stole my savings
Told gold digger she was having my babies
G
Well, gold digger swung, snake lady fell

I took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill
G
Oh, I married her fast, murdered her young
Oh, took my money back and made my run
[Verse 2]
D
Well, bus driver, all in red
Yeah, go pull this bus over and end up dead
Yeah go drive this bus down to Mexico
Park it on a cliff where that good grass grows

Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
