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
