[Intro: ]G Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G
G Cadd9 G
Well it sure didn't take too long
G Cadd9 G
I woke up one morning, she was gone
Em Cadd9 G Cadd9
And the note that she wrote didn't say "Dear John"
G D G
It said, "Goodbye, sucker, I'm gone!"
G Cadd9 G
She was a home-grown mountain girl
G Cadd9 G
Raised in a different world
Em Cadd9 G Cadd9
I was a wanna-be rocker, she was more into Merle
G D G
I just couldn't see it wouldn't work
Em Cadd9
And now I'm double fisting longnecks
G Cadd9
and grapefruit and Stoli
G D G
But I'm never getting over Jolie
Instrumental: G Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G
Well, I pulled myself in my car
And I drove on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in, because I ain't a movie star
So I went to the Horseshoe on Lamar
The bouncer threw me out at two
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone and I called guess who
But the call block wouldn't let me through
And now I'm wishing for some drugs Or a shrink to
Console me but I'm never getting over Jolie
Instrumental: G Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G
Well I gathered up all of my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn
She always thought I was a crazy one
Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
He said, Calm down, would you like a drink?
And then I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
And I polished off my little sweet pea
And now I'm cryin' on my knees, feelin' dirty and unholy
But I'm never getting over Jolie
Yeah I'll prob'ly get life and serve at least forty
But I'm never getting over Jolie
End: G Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G
