[Verse 1]

G                              
I remember the thirty-five sweet 
        Em
goodbyes
C                       D        
When you put me on the Wolverine 
         G
up to Annandale
G                              
It was still September when your 
                        Em
daddy was quite surprised
C                      D         
To find you with the working 
               G
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             
Soon they're gonna be in bloom up
       G
 in Annandale
G                                 
I can't stand her doing what she 
       Em
did before
C               D                
Living like a Gypsy queen in a 
    G
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            
That'll be the day I go back to 
     G
Annandale
G                                 
Tried to warn you about Chino and 
       Em
Daddy Gee
C                       D   
But I can't seem to get to you 
                    G
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
