Intro
[G#] This is a song with a message
[G#]I want you to heed my warning
Verse 1
[G#]I wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know
They call her Amphetamine Annie, an' she's always shovelin' snow
[C#]I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
[G#]I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear
Your [D#]mind might think it's flyin' baby [C#]on those little pills
[G#]But you ought to know it's dyin' 'cause [D#]speed kills!
Verse 2
[G#]But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and soar
[G#]her skin was turnin' yella', I just couldn't take it no more
She [D#]thought her mind was flyin', [C#]on those little pills
[G#]She didn't know it was going down fast, 'cause [D#]speed kills!
(Yell "Speed Kills)

Verse 3
[G#]Well I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time
The whole wide human race has taken far too much meladrime
[C#]She said "I don't care what a limey says, I got to get it on
[G#]I'm not hip to the scene of the man who come from across the pond"
She [D#]wouldn't heed my warnin', lord she [C#]wouldn't hear what I said
[G#]Now she's in the grave yard, and she, [D#]awfully dead
(Yell "Awfully Dead")
