The easiest way, in my opinion, to play this is to drop your tuning down a half step so you can bar all of the chords. great cross-picking exercise. Intro: use the same picking pattern throughout the whole song (A= root string of chord, i.e. E (6) or C#min (5). A B A C D C B C so for E, you're picking in this order 6 5 6 4 3 4 5 4 (low e string = 6) listen to the song and you will hear it instantly INTRO (play through twice) E E E E C#min C#min C#min C#min VERSE:

^EHey little girl, is your ^Edaddy home? did he ^Ego and leave you ^Eall alone? ^Ammmm...^A. I've got a bad desi^C#minre ..........^C#min...

^Awhoa- oh -^Boh I'm on ^Efire ^ETell me now, baby, is he ^Egood to you? Can he ^Edo for you the things ^EI want to?

^Aoh..^A. I can take you ^C#minhigher..... ^C#min ^Awhoa- oh -^Boh I'm on ^Efire

Instrumental (play through twice- opposite of intro) C#min C#min C#min C#min E E E E Bridge:
