D D C C D D D Em Em Em


[Verse 1]

G                                      Em  
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
C                       D                 G     
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale
G                                                      Em
It was still September when your daddy was quite surprised
C                      D                        G
To find you with the working girls in the county jail
       C     
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
        D  
When I heard about the whole affair
         Gmaj7 Em   
I said,  Oh   no
Gmaj7       Em         C
William and Mary won't do 
            D             Am7
Well I did not think the girl
           Bm7      Em7
Could be   so    cruel
        D             Am7
And I'm never going back
        Bm7      G
To my   old     school


[Verse 2]

G                               Em  
Oleanders growing outside her door
C                  D                    G     
Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale
G                                        Em  
I can't stand her doing what she did before
C               D                    G     
Living like a Gypsy queen in a fairy tale
         C
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
           D
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
           Gmaj7   Em
She said,  Oh      no
Gmaj7   Em        C
Guadalajara won't do
        D                 Am7
Well I did not think the girl
           Bm7    Em7
Could be    so  cruel
         D             Am7 
And I'm never going back
         Bm7    G
To my    old    school


[Verse 3]

G                            Em
California tumbles into the sea
C               D                 G
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
G                                        Em
Tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy Gee
C                       D                       G
But I can't seem to get to you through the U.S.Mail
        C               
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
           D
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
          Gmaj7   Em
She said, Oh      no
Gmaj7  Em         C
Guadalajara won't do
        D                  Am7 
Well I did not think the girl
           Bm7      Em7
Could be   so      cruel
        D             Am7
And I'm never going back
         Bm7      G
To my    old     school
