I have seen several versions of this song in the archives, but I couldn't
really follow them. Here is a simple version that fits the recording:
Intro:

E--------------------------------- -------------------------------- B--9-------------------------------7-------------------------------- G--9-------------------------------7-------------------------------- D--9-------------------------------7-------------------------------- A--7-------------------------------5-------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------------------
Annie's twelve years old in two more she'll be a whore
Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way
Don't be afraid with the quickness you get laid for your
Family get paid it's the wrong way

Still ruins her makeup I never wanted...
Notes:
- You can see that the Verse repeats. The chord patterns are:
A G, F# E, B A, E D, and this is played twice.
- I separated the Outro because it doesn?t follow the pattern.
You?d expect to play A G at that point.
- I don?t usually play all the strings I?ve indicated here. I
find just playing the last two strings sounds good enough.
