E     G     D     A
E     G     D     A

[Verse 1]
E       G      D      A
  They never came to town
E      G      D      A
  He really gets me down
E      G        D        A
  Take off that plastic crown
E      G          D       A
  Coke nose and a pretty sound

[Pre-Chorus]
E     G             D
  Alright, make it quick
      A             E
Good songs make ya rich
      G             D
That feeling, it'll pass
     A             E
Good boys come in last
    G           D
Bad girl by my side
        A            E
Popping pills on the fly
      G            D
Gold grave when I die

[Chorus 1]
   A           E    G    D
I came by to see
       A         E   G    
I just had to know
D             A            E       G
  Who put the body in the bayou?
D              A              E     G    D   A
  Who left the tracks on the road?

[Verse 2]
E      G     D        A    
  Told me; "Act your age."
E        G         D      A
  That's why she's underage
E          G              D       A
  Said her papa hates the Federales and
E          G                  D            A
  When he drinks too much, he smacks her face

[Pre-Chorus]
E     G             D
  Alright, make it quick
      A             E
Good songs make ya rich
      G             D
That feeling, it'll pass
     A             E
Good boys come in last
    G           D
Bad girl by my side
        A            E
Popping pills on the fly
      G            D
Gold grave when I die

[Chorus 2]
   A           E    G    D
I came by to see
       A         E   G    
I just had to know
D             A            E       G
  Who put the body in the bayou?
D              A              E     G    D   A
  Who left the tracks on the road?
