I have seen several versions of this song in the archives, but I couldn't
really follow them. Here is a simple version that fits the recording:

   Annie's twelve years old in two more she'll be a whore  
   Nobody ever told her it's the   wrong way  
   Don't be afraid with the        quickness you get laid for your  
   Family get paid it's the        wrong way

   So we ran away and I'm         sorry when I say that straight 
   To this very day it was the    wrong way 
   She took a hike                don't matter if I like it or 
   Not because she only wants the wrong way

   I gave her all that I          had to give but she 
   Still wouldn't take it                oh no 
   Her two brown eyes are leaking like a sieve and it

B                           D

D--9----9----9----9---------12---12---12—----
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
   Still ruins her makeup I never wanted...


Notes:
- You can see that the Verse repeats. The chord patterns are:
  A G, F# E, B A, E D, and this is played twice.

- I separated the Outro because it doesn’t follow the pattern.
  You’d expect to play A G at that point.

- I don’t usually play all the strings I’ve indicated here. I
  find just playing the last two strings sounds good enough.

i'm starting to think that all the sublime songs "w/ random picking"
is just an excuse not to figure out the hardest part.
