              C*                       C*
Well now it's too damn early and your eyes are bleeding

C*                                      C*
From the vicious bottle the night before

         C*                       C*
And the last thing you need is a nicety-nice

     C*                           C*
And small talk crawls out your ears

C                                               F
Maybe it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud

C                                                 F
I hear it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud

         Hey there, hey now, hey there, hey now

C*                                    C*
Well you can make a pacemaker blink, yeah, easy thing

C*                     C*
Make a man's heart go bibbity-bom bippity-bom bippity-bom

C*                           *
Like a gentle blue pill to inject the chill

C*                        C*
And no one knew that it ever meant

   C                     F
So go on, go on, go on, darling, go on

     C                     F
Yeah go on, go on darling, go on, go on

          C*                          C*
Yeah, the secretaries and typewriters chattering away

C*                                                        C*
Chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter, chatter away

C*                                         C*
And don't it make you sick when you hear a woman cry

C*                                  C*
When she don't get just whatever she wants

     C                                F
But not my woman, she just keeps on keeping on, that's my woman, my woman

      C                                   F
That moving on shuffle side to side, that sure can turn me on

[Chorus]

     C                   F
That dirty-ass rock 'n' roll (dirty-ass rock 'n' roll)

     C                   F
Oh, dirty-ass rock 'n' roll (dirty-ass rock 'n' roll)

         Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

C*                              C*
And the beach is a thing if the bees don't sting

      C*                              C*
Like complaining from a downtown whore

          C*                   C*
I got my plasma patches and my hypodermic

      C*                    C*
In hermetically sealed kid gloves

   C                                  F
Ah tell me, tell me, tell me how you like it

   C                                  F
Ah tell me, tell me, tell me how you like it
