Standard (EADGBE)

She wanna string of pearls

All I got her was a necklace

 Made of flowers from the trash can

 She wanna make me pay for it

 Yeah while I'm at it guess I'll take another bath, man

 And the record's out

 Holdin' steady gaining on last place

 And in a moment's notice

 We'll be ready for the next new phase

 Another stupid craze (Same thing for the rest of the song)

She wanna string of pearls

All I got her was a necklace

Made of flowers from the trash can

She's gonna make me pay for it

I start to sing and cry and then

It makes me laugh, man

Yeah we've all got doubts

Might not be winning but still in the race

And in a moment's notice

We'll be ready for her next new phase

It might be hard to sell

Still never in giving

Have I given... So deep...oh, well

Will you give it all to me when you're dead

You can keep the scent on my pillow

To settle your broken-heart and head

Will you think of me when you die

Holding steady

Moment's notice

Again she left with my heart in hand

She says she hates me

 Yeah she's lied before

 Again it's time to play me

Yeah it just adds up

 That same sad melodic score

 I wrote another one

 Does this one count

 And did cost as much as all the other ones

So much more...

She wanna string of pearls

All I got her was a necklace

Made of flowers from the trash can

She wanna make me pay for it

And while I'm at it guess I'll take

Another bath man

Yeah the record's out

Holding steady gaining on last place

And in a moment's notice

We'll be ready for her next new phase

So I state my case

Would you want a string of pearls

'Cause all I got you was a necklace

Made of flowers, made of flowers from a trash can

And she wanna string of pearls

Ain't that enough, ma'am?

I think it's worth so much more
