Verse 1
Em
Let me tell you about a girl I know,
Em
had a drink about a hour ago.
Am B C B
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown L.
Em
She heard a noise and she looked through the door.
Em
And saw a man she'd never seen before.
Am B C B
Light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile.
Em
Well, her heart raced as he walked through the door
Em
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar.
B Am
"My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?"
Em
And she said."Wait a minute I have to think."
Em
He said."That's fine. May I please buy you a drink"
B C B E(I)
One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car and
C B E
they drove away some place real far.
Em
Now babe the time has come.
Em
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
B C G D B
And she said." If we could only please be on our way, I will not run."
Em
That's when things got out of control.
Em C B Em C B
She didn't want to, he had his way.
Em C B
She said."Let's Go"
Em C B
He said."No Way!"
B C B
Come on babe it's your lucky day.
B C B
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
B C (N/C)
Come on baby don't be afraid, if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid.

Solo

Em
He finished up and he started the car
Em
He turned around and drove back to the bar.
Am B C B
He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad."
Em
She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head
Em
now he's got a big scar.
Am B C B
Come on party people won't you listen to me. Date Rape Stylee.
Em
The next day she went to her drawer, look up her local attorney at law,
B
went to the phone and filed the police report
Am
and then she took the guy's ass to court.
Em
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed.
Em
"She lies that little slut!"
B C B E(I)
The judge knew that he was full of shit and he gave him 25 yrs
C B E
And now his heart is filled with tears.
Em
That night in jail it was getting late.
Em B
He was butt-raped by a large inmate and he screamed.
C G D B
But the guards paid no attention to his cries.
Em
That's when things got out of control.
Em C B Em C B Em C B Em C B
The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny.
B C B
But that's the way it had to be.
B C B
They locked him up and threw away the key.
B
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
C (N/C)
even though he now takes it in the behind.

[Verse 1]
Em
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
N.C.
Had a drink about an hour ago
Am
Sitting in a corner by herself
B B# B
In a bar in downtown hell
Em
She heard a noise and she looked to the door
N.C.
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Am
Light skin, light blue eyes
B B# B
A double chin and a plastic smile
Em
Her heart raced as he walked through the door
N.C.
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
B
'My brand new car is parked right outside
Am
How'd you like to go for a ride?' And she said
Em
'Wait a minute I have to think'
N.C.
He said 'That's fine may I please buy you a drink?'
B
One drink turned into 3 or 4
B# B Em
And they left and got into his car
B# B Em
And they drove away some place real far
Em
Now babe, the time has come

How'd you like to have a little fun? And she said
B B# G
'If we could only please be on our way,
D Em
I would not run'
Em
That's when things got out of control
Em B# B
She didn't want to
Em B# B
He had his way
Em B# B
She said let's go
Em B# B
He said no way
B B# B
Come on babe it's your lucky day
B B# B
Shut your mouth we're gonna do it my way
B B# B
Come on baby don't be afraid
B
If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid

(Now it's solo time! This is the general gist of it, though there are some subtle
tweaks that I couldn't catch, but I know are there. When I've tabbed out the 10^^^10,
You have to hit the ten, bend it up to a 12 and hold it while you hit 12 on the high E string,
and then hit the bent ten again while bringing it down. It's a Chuck Berry riff, a little
difficult to get used to but sounds great. It's also used in the latter half of the solo,
where you bend up 10 and hit 7 as well)

Em
He finished up, started the car
N.C.
He turned around and drove back to the bar
Am
He said 'Now baby, don't be said,'
B B# B
'In my opinion, you weren't half bad.'
Em
She picked up a rock.
N.C.
Threw it at the car.
N.C.
Hit him in the head
N.C.
Now he's got a big scar
Am
Come on, party people won't you listen to me
B B#
Date rape stylee
Em
The next day, she went to her drawer

Looked up her local attorney-at-law
B
Went to the phone and filed a police report
Am
And then she took the guys ass to court
Em
The day he stood infront of the judge
N.C.
He screamed 'She lies, that little slut!'
B
The judge knew he was full of shit
B# B Em
So he gave him 25 years
B# B Em
And now his heart is filled with tears
Em
One night in jail, it was getting late

He was but-raped by a large inmate
B
And he screamed

But the guards payed no attention to his cries
