            C#7           Em           B
Well, I was drinkin' last night with a biker

      C#7          Em         B
And I showed him a picture of you

         E          A                         Riff II
I said, "Pal get to know her, you'll like her"

A           E/G# A      Bb    B   Lick
Seemed like the least I could do

       C#7       Em           B
'Cause when he's chargin' his chopper

       C#7       Em       B
Up and down your carpeted halls

          E          A                     Riff II
You will think me by contrast quite proper

      A       E/G# A      Bb B
Never mind how I stumble and fall
Riff I Never mind how I stumble and fall [Chorus 1]
F#
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot

      A             D  A/C# A B
For a taste of your elegant pride

A        E        Em        B       A
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe

E                  Em         B    A
But at least I'm enjoying the ride

E               Em         B        A
At least I'm enjoying the ride, yeah
Riff I At least I'm enjoying the ride, yeah Solo over B Queue Riff I to go to Verse 2 [Verse 2]
         C#7           Em           B
Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender

        C#7      Em           B
Somehow baby got hard as it gets

         E             A                       Riff II
With her black leather chrome-spiked suspenders

    A         E/G# A       Bb  B   Lick
Her chain and her whip and her pets

         C#7            Em     B
Well we know you're the reincarnation

       C#7       Em           B
Of the ravenous Catherine the Great

       E            A                  Riff II
And we know how you love your ovations

        A   E/G# A         Bb  B
And the Z-rated scenes you create, yeah
Riff I Z-rated scenes you create [Chorus 2]

F#m    F#mMaj7     A
You analyze me, pretend to despise me

Riff II                       E/G# A
You laugh when I stumble and fall

      E          Em         B                  A
There may come a day I will dance on your grave

  E       Em            B               A
Unable to dance, I will crawl across it

  E       Em            B        A

You must really consider the circus

          C#7           Em           B
'Cause it just might be your kind of zoo

  E                A                        Riff II
I can't think of a place that's more perfect

      A     E/G# A      Bb B   Lick
For a person as perfect as you

         C#7           Em         B
And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely

         C#7           Em       B
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin

      E                A               Riff II
But I know that you'll think of me only

          A     E/G# A    Bb  B
When the snakes come marching in, yeah
Riff II When the snakes come marching in [Chorus 3]
