 Missy aggravation                         
            E
Some sacred questions                        
                  G#
You stroke my locks                          
          E
Some marijuana                                 
       G#
If you got some

[CHORUS] - play BASS part

Gouge away 
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

[VERSE 2]
G#                B*
 Sleeping on your belly
              E
 You break my arms
                  G#
 You spoon my eyes
                E
 Been rubbing a bad charm
           G#
 With holy fingers

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
G#              B*
 Chained to the pillars
         E
 A 3-day party
                  G#
 I break the walls 
             E
 And kill us all
           G#
 With holy fingers

       B*
 Gouge away
E                 G# 
 You can gouge away
          E
 Stay all day
        G#
 If you want to

ENDING: B*  E   G#   E   G#
