** I am referencing this recording, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUkSTnUK_T0&feature=youtu.be ,
to write this tab, per the UG community's request. The request is for Chords, but I feel it would
be silly to not at least write out the tabs for the Intro and Hook, which painstakingly took
4hrs :\ Enjoy! Once you have the Intro and Hook down then it should be easy to follow the lead sheet.

Oh Dgold digger took my money yeah
Dipped my heart and hands in honey
Oh Snake Lady stole my savings

Oh, took my money back and made my run

Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
