The chords aren't exactly matched up to the song
at some points because he slows down his lyric erratically
so you will have to hear it to get the idea.
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                      C
She's gonna hand you a red-headed Gabriel,
G                        D
Coming from the bar in a plastic tie.
G                         C
He's gonna swing from the Tree of Life.
G                               D
He's gonna try to sell you on a great big lie.
 
[Chorus]
         C
But when you speak to her,
    D
Her eyes light up.
    G                  Em
The music spills right into your cup.
    C                      D
The minstrels play and the waitress brings ice.
          G
There are pies on a carousel.
Em
Have a slice.
    C
But watch out.
    D     N.C.         G   N.C.
She ain't no good for you.
 
[Verse 2]
G                        C
He's gonna spin like the tractor pull.
G                       D
She'll sit back when he tells his tale.
G                       C
He's gonna yell when he drinks his beer.
G                         D
She'll sit back and drink ginger ale.
 
[Chorus]
         C
But when you speak to her,
    D
Her eyes light up.
    G                  Em
The music spills right into your cup.
   C                D
It's so abrupt and it's so concise.
          G
There are pies on a carousel.
Em
Have a slice.
    C
But watch out.
    D        G        Em
She ain't no good for you.
      C
I say watch out.
    D     N.C.         G
She ain't no good for you.
 
[Guitar Solo] (haven't quite got that yet sorry)
 
[Chorus]
      C               D
She'd like to put you in her zoo,
        G                         Em
Right between the canaries and the cockatoos.
       C
She'll pull out your feathers
         D
For her brand new hat,
    G
And when she's done that
       Em
She'll feed you to her cat.
   C
So watch out.
D           G         Em
She ain't no good for you.
C
Watch out.
D          G          Em
She ain't no good for you.
      C
Watch out.
    D     N.C.         G   Cadd9   G D G
She ain't no good for you.

For the electric guitar bridge you can just keep playing like you're playing another verse and chorus, followed by D-Major, before picking up with the lyrics again.
