G#
anna tell you all a story, about this chick I know.
They call her Anphetamine Annie, an' she's always shovelin' snow.

I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
G#
I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear

Verse 2:
------
G#
But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor

She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door

her skin was turnin' yella', I just couldn't take it no more
