Chords:
C/G 332010
D/A 554030
D/F# 200232

During the verses, play the four bottom strings, then add in the top
two during the chorus. All other chords, play as in the pop up boxes.
Note that coming out of each instrumental, they'll play two bars of C/G,
but coming out of each verse, they only play one. Also, at the end of
Verse 3 (the "guard rail" part), there's a half-measure of D/A which leads
into the rest of that extended section of Verse 3. Definitely listen to the
song, just count "1 & 2 &" for that first D/A, then the rest should come
naturally.

Verse 1
[G]She was a shark smile in a [C/G]yellow van
[D/A]She came around and I [G5]stole a [D/F#]glance
In my [Em]youth, a [Em/B]vampire
Evelyn shown [D/A]quiet as roses [C/G]sting
It came [G]over me at a [C/G]bad time
But [D/A]who wouldn't ride on a [G5]moonlight [D/F#]line?
[Em]I had her in my eye, [Em/B]85 down the [D/A]road of a dead-end [C/G]gleam
Chorus
And she said [G]woo
[D/F#]Baby, [Am]take me[C/G]
And I said [G]woo
[D/F#]Baby, [Am]take me too[C/G]
Verse 2
It came [G]over her at a [C/G]bad time
[D/A]Riding through Winona down the [G5]dotted [D/F#]line
[Em]Held us gunning out
90 [Em/B]miles down the [D/A]road of a dead end[C/G] dream
She looked [G]over with a [C/G]part smile
[D/A]Caught up in the twinkle, it could [G5]take [D/F#]awhile
[Em]And the money pile[Em/B] on the dashboard [D/A][C/G]fluttering
Chorus
As she said [G]woo
[D/F#]Baby, [Am]take me[C/G]
And I said [G]woo
[D/F#]Baby, [Am]take me too[C/G]

Verse 3
[G]Evelyn's kiss was [C/G]oxygen
[D/A]I leaned over to [G5]take it[D/F#] in
[Em]As we went [Em/B]howling through the [D/A]edge of south Des [C/G]Moines
It came [G]over me at a [C/G]bad time
[D/A]She burned over the [G5]double [D/F#]line
Em C/G C/G |D/A | C/G
And she impaled as I reached my hand for the guardrail
| C/G D/A | C/G
Ooh the guardrail

Ooh the guardrail
