F Dm D E C G Am Bm


[Verse 1]
         D                       C
She went into the graveyard with trouble on her mind.
         G                               D
She was lookin' for the man who make her crazy.
         D                   C
From her big brown coat she pulled a silver knife.
       G                                  D
As she held it in her hand, her heart was racing.


[Chorus]
       F                         C                D
You're low down and dirty, and I love the way you do.
     F                Em              D
If I stay I'll never find my way back home.


[Verse 2]
         D                        C
It's been nine long years since first you took my hand.
     G                              D
I'll never understand what made you do it,
            D                   C
And how you twisted up my soul, threw me in a hole.
   G                              D
I didn't come this far to see you through it


[Chorus]
       F                         C                D
You're low down and dirty, and I love the way you do.
     F                Em              D          F C D
If I stay I'll never find my way back home.


[Verse 3]
          D                       C
Babe, I'm sorry for you, but it's what I have to do.
    G                                       D
You died that night beneath the leaves have fallen,
        D                            C
And the devil will stand by; smilin' bright, his pitchfork high.
  G                                       D
A ghost from all these graves will come a callin'.

       F                         C                D
Say you're low down and dirty, and I love the way you do.
     F                Em              D
If I stay I'll never find my way back home.


[Solo]


[Verse 4]
       D
So she stabbed him in the heart.
             C
Her shining blade it ripped apart
    G                            D
His skin and pierced him through the center,
      D                 C
And I lay my body down, throw me on the ground,
    G                              D
And cover me so I can hide from my dominator.
       F
You're low down and dirty,


[Alternative chorus]
       F
So low down
       F                  C                D
Low down and dirty, and I love the way you do
       F                  C                D
Low down and dirty, and I love the way you do
       F                  C                D
Low down and dirty, and I love the way you do
     F                Em              D
If I stay I'll never find my way back home.
