[Verse 1]
[G]I remember
the thirty-five sweet good[Em]byes

[G]It was still September
When your daddy was quite sur[Em]prised
[C]To find you with the wor[D]king girls
in the coun[G]try jail

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [C]was smoking with the boys upstairs when I
[D]Heard about the whole affair, I said

[Chorus 1]
[G]Oh [Em]no, W[G]illiam and M[Em]ary won't [C]do
Well, I [D]did not think the [Am]girl
Could be [Bm]so cr[Em]uel

[G]Oleanders growing outside her doo[Em]r
[C]Soon they're gonna be [D]in bloom up
in Annan[G]dale
[G]I can't stand her
Doing what she did be[Em]fore
[C]Living like a gyp[D]sy queen in a fai[G]ry tale

[Pre-chorus 2]
Well, [C]I hear the whistle but I can't go, I'm gonna
[D]Take her down to Mexico, she said

[Chorus 2]
[G]Oh [Em]no, G[G]uadala[Em]jara won't d[C]o

[G]Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy [Em]Gee

through the [G]U.S. Mail
