This is my first tab, and it's all by ear but I'm pretty sure it's correct.
No capo
Intro: C
C
She was a livewire, she was stuck in the past
F G
I was holding the middle, you was waking up fast
C
It was four in the morning, she was holding on tight
F G
to a David Bowie look a like circa '85
C
Now he's turning up his amplifier, staring at his toes
F G
Even when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose
C
Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little
F G
but to me it's just another form of California dribble
G
the top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle
C Am
Well there's something to be learned here
F G
Though it may seem a little insincere
C Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
F G
You're a country singer I'm a cavalier

C
Well I wanna know the whole story over
F
Where you came from, where you going,
G
However long it takes to know you
C
With your heavy metal heartbeat, Salty but you seem sweet
F G
Tippy toes on both feet, Rockin to the teen beat
C
Well, ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top
F G
Some people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop
C
Some call it country music every time you use a fiddle
F G
How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle?
G
Too tight around the edges, leave a little room to wiggle.
C Am
Well there's something to be learned here
F G
Though it may seem a little insincere
C Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
F G
You're a country singer I'm a cavalier
Oh oo oh oo oh (x8) (same chord progression as chorus)
C Am
Well there's something to be learned here
F G
Though it may seem a little insincere
C Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
F G
You're a psycho killer, I'm a cavalier
