Version 1
            Chords:
C/G   332010
D/A   554030
G5    355000
D/F#  200232
Em    022000
Em/B  775000

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.

[Intro]
| C/G | C/G | C/G | C/G |
| G   | C/G | D/A | G5  D/F#|
| Em  | Em/B| D/A | C/G | C/G |

[Verse 1]
G                          C/G
She was a shark smile in a yellow van
D/A                   G5      D/F#
She came around and I stole a glance
      Em          Em/B
In my youth, a vampire
             D/A            C/G
Evelyn shown quiet as roses sting
         G           C/G
It came over me at a bad time
    D/A                    G5        D/F#
But who wouldn't ride on a moonlight line?
Em                   Em/B        D/A                C/G
I had her in my eye, 85 down the road of a dead-end gleam

[Chorus]
             G
And she said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me
           G
And I said woo
D/F#  Am           C/G
Baby, take me too

[Verse 2]
        G             C/G
It came over her at a bad time
D/A                            G5     D/F#
Riding through Winona down the dotted line
Em
Held us gunning out
   Em/B           D/A               C/G
90 miles down the road of a dead end dream
           G           C/G
She looked over with a part smile
D/A                                G5    D/F#
Caught up in the twinkle, it could take awhile
Em                Em/B              D/A     C/G
And the money pile on the dashboard fluttering

[Chorus]
            G
As she said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me
           G
And I said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me too

[Interlude]
| G   | C/G | D/A | G  D/F#|
| Em  | Em/B| D/A | C/G | C/G |

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

[Chorus]
            G
As she said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me
           G
And I said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me too
            G
As she said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me
           G
And I said woo
D/F#  Am         C/G
Baby, take me too
