 An acoustic guitar plays straight chords and accompanies the vocals:
 
 [verse 1]
 		           D
 		Well I'd rather see you dead little girl
 		        Bm
 		Than to be with another man
 	              D
 		You better keep your head little girl
 	                Bm
 		Or you won't know where I am
 
 [chorus]	        	                     E
 		You better run for your life if you can little girl
 		 Bm                    E
 		Hide your head in the sand little girl
 		 Bm                     G  
 		Catch you with another man
 		 F#        Bm               D
 		That's the end little girl.

 		          D
 		Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
 		           Bm
 		And I was born with a jealous mind

 		                Bm
 		Tryin' just to make you tow the line.
