E         G,A  E        A,G  E        G,A  E
///////// //  ///////// //  ///////// //  ///////
(The A & G chords are switched periodicaly.) Verse 2: --------

Don't come a hangin' around my door, I don't wanna see your face no more.

E                              A   G    E                              A  
I got more important things to do, than spend my time growin' old with you.

G   E             G    A  E   A   G    E             G    A  E
Now woman, I said stay away.  American woman, listen what I  sa-----y.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rest of the verses are very similar to verse 2, with subtle changes. Enjoy! This song's a little tough, but it gets easy w/practice! -Nate
