VERSE 1:
E5
Let me tell you about a girl I know. She had a drink about an
A5 B5 C5 B5
hour ago. Sittin in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown L.
E5
Well she heard a noise and she looked throught the door, and saw
A5 B5
a man she'd never seen before. Light skin, light blue eyes. A
C5 B5 E5
double-chin, and a plastic smile. Well her heart raced as he
walked through the door, and took an empty seat next to her at
A5
the bar, he said, "My brand new car is parked right outside,
B5 C5 B5 E5
how'd you like to go for a ride?" She said, "Wait a minute, I
have to think." He said, "That's fine, may I please buy you a
A5
drink?" One drink turned into 3 or 4,
B5 C5 B5 E5 C5
and they left and got into his car. And they drove away some
B5 E5 E5
place real far. Now babe, the time has come, how'd you like to
B5 E5
have a little fun? And she said, If we could only please be on
C5
our way.
CHORUS:
E5 E5
That's when things got out of control. She didn't
C5 E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 C5 B5
want to, he had his way, she said let's go, he said no way! Come
C5 B5
on babe it's your lucky day. Shut your mouth wer'e gonna do it
C5 B5 C5 B5 (stop)
my way. Come on baby, don't be afraid. If it wasn't for
date-rape, I'd never get laid. (ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO)
VERSE 2: (I guess)
E5
He finished up, and he started the car, and turned around and
A5 B5
drove back to the bar. He said, "Now baby, don't be sad, in my
C5 B5 E5
opinion, you weren't half bad." She picked up a rock, threw it
A5
at the car, hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar. Come on
B5
party people, won't you listen to me. Date-rape style!
E5
The next day she went to her drawer, looked up her local attorney
B5 A5
at law. Went to the phone and filed a police report. And then
E5
she took the guy's ass to court. The day he stood in front of the
B5
judge, he screamed, "She lies, that little slut!" The judge knew
C5 B5 E5 C5
he was full of sh!t, and he gave him 25 years. And now his heart
B5 E5 E5
is filled with tears. One night in jail it was getting late, he
was butt-raped, by a large in-mate, and he screamed. But the
B5 E5 C5
guards paid no attention, to his cries.
CHORUS: (Play like first chorus)
That's when things got out of control. The moral of the date-rape story,
it does not pay to be drunk and horny. But that's the way it had to be,
they locked him up, and threw away the key. Well, I can take pitty on the
man at this time, even tho he now takes it in the behind. That's the way
it had to be, they locked him up and threw away the key. Well I can take
pitty on the man at this time, even tho he now takes it in the behind. DATE-RAPE!!
OUTRO:
E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 C5 E5
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO, SHE
C5 E5 E5
DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT!!
And that's the end of this great classic song. Pretty easy, just play more of the higher
notes of each chord, and maybe a little bit of the lower notes to hear a bigger difference.
