  G      Gdim     D    B7               D      B7      E7    A7
The climate's of a Southern brand, but here's what I don't understand
D      D6       D       D6                   G    Gdim    D      B7

To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em, Is her delight, they say
  G         Gdim        D       B7
I saw her at the seashore with a great big can

There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man

An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees

Is like drivin' through Alaska in your BVDs

She's just Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA
