[Intro 1]
[C]
[D][C][D][C]

[Verse 1]
He was [D]driving in his
Jaguar [C]on the outskirts of town
[D]Admiring his upholstery [C]and the
dashboard's woody [D]brown[C][D]
[C]
He would [D]think about the
Aztec[C]s and the
Mayans and the
Sioux
And the war[D]rior's code [C]for what's
a modern man to [D]do[C][D][C]
He [F]remembered when the music
used [Bb]to be magic
[Gm]Before it was just another
[C]software gadget
He was [F]up on his luck, [Bb]but down on desire
He was [G]cruisin' these streets [C]and
lookin' for a [D]fight[C][D][C]
[D]Now, on the other hand, we [C]got
Peggy
Sue
Who [D]wasn't bothered by
these questions
[C]Cause she knew what a girl [D]could do
[C]She [D]put[G] he[C]r[D]
thumb out in the road
And [C]hitched her skirt up high
[D]The sound of his disc [C]brakes squealing
And made the birds [G]fly [D]high, [C]high[D][C]
He [F]said, where are you going?
And she [Bb]settled in her seat
She [Gm]crossed her legs and put
[C]his hand on her knee
She [F]said, consider me your
[Bb]dream come true
You can [Gm]throw away your playboy
[C]In the penthouse too[D][C][D]
[C]
Now [D]of course this was too
much [C]for him to handle
[D]He fell for his wallet [C]like a man about
to take a [G]big [D]gamble[C][G][D][C]
He [D]thought about
Altman [C]and
Thelma and
Louise
He [D]thought about his wife [C]who he never
seemed able to [D]please[C][D][C]
[D]Ah, [F]head from out of nowhere,
she [Bb]pulled out a gun
Said, [Gm]if was you, I'd ge[C]t moving some
He [F]gulped real hard, held [Bb]his breath
[Gm]Steady his steering,
[C]put his hand back on the armrest
[D]Som[C]eon[G]e[Dm][D][C][D]
down the road,
she [C]said, my name is
Peggy
Sue
He [D]said, call me
Buddy, [C]she said,
Buddy, nice to [D]meet [C]you[D][C]
She [D]let him have his way
an[C]d then took his keys
He [D]was standing by the highway [C]when she
shot him right through the [D]knees[C][D][C]
[D]Then cam[F]e the day she
stood [Bb]before the judge
The [C]courtroom [Gm]was packed and[C]
Buddy was on his crutch
The [F]judge looked down, said,
ex[Bb]plain your actions
[Gm]Legacy said,
Your
[C]Honor, I only get dissatis[D]faction[C][G][D][C][D][C]
[D][C][D]
[C][D][C][D]
[C][D][C][D]
[C][D][C][D]
