Note:
To make it even easier to play - Play open chords and C instead of Csus2,
and stay on G instead of Gsus4

^'s And v's indicate strumming direction- ^ is down and v is up (makes sense)
The dead notes can be strummed as a part of the schord, but muting them makes
left hand transition easier
[Intro]
Am Csus2 G Gsus4 x4
Am
Met a fine red boned mami
Csus2 G Gsus4
She told me that her name was Lucille
Am
Met her on Fountain Avenue
Csus G Gsus4
Sitting on the back of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
Am
She said, I'm a liar, a thief, I'm a junkie
Csus2 G Gsus4
And I used to be a whore
Am
And I've been trying to shake this monkey o long
Csus2 G Gsus4
I just can't take it no more
Am
She said I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2 G Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2 G Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst
Am Csus2 G Gsus4 x2
Am
We talked all afternoon
Csus2 G Gsus4
She made me cry, I told some jokes
Am
She looked me deep in my eyes
Csus2 G Gsus4
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Am
Her grandmother died when she was five
Csus2 G Gsus4
And she never did know her folks
Am
Her father fell in a gun fight
Csus2 G Gsus4
And her mother by an overdose
Am
She said I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2 G Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bones
Am
And I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2 G Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Am
She said, I've slept with gangsters
Csus2
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
Am
I've seen therapists and holy men
Csus2 G Gsus4
But this weakness is my only friend
Am
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
Csus4
It starts to creep and take control
Am
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
Csus2 G Gsus4
And tomorrow I do it all again
Am
´Cause said I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2 G Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
Csus2 G Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2 G Gsus4 Am
Just waiting for it to burst
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
