Early in the morning, about a quarter to four

Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door

We're heading for the car and we got right in

And that's when I noticed the shape she was in

Well we drove down town and up in the woods

G                               A
We drove around and around till I understood

E                        D
I was holding the wheel, she was making out

B                        A
And all this time I was driving about

She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck

And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck

I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise

          G                  A
There was two big red lights shining in my eyes

E                  D
I pull over and he drove alongside

    B                  A
And out of his car and up to my right

E
He looked at her and she looked at him

B                               A
And the next thing I noticed he got right in
