(INTRO: D AM C G X2)

D AM                 MAVIS DITCHED OUR FAMILY
C G           FOR THE FREEDOM OF THE ROAD
D AM                 OUR BABYSITTER WORE PAISLEY
C G           SHE TOOK OFF AND LEFT US COLD
D AM                 STRAIGHT FOR THE HAIGHT, MAVIS RAN AWAY
C G           TO THE LAND OF LSD
D AM                 WE HAD TO LOOK FOR HER SOMEHOW
C G           NO MATTER WHERE THAT ROAD WOULD LEAD

CHORUS
EM G SHE’S A BADASS….     WITH A GOOD HEART
C D           THE TYPE OF GIRL YOU WANNA MARRY
G D           AIN’T NO DANGER IN MAVIS
G D           SHE’S A GIRL FROM OUR OWN TOWN
C D           AIN’T NO DANGER IN MAVIS
C D G PRETTY SOON, SHE’LL SETTLE ON DOWN

RIFF: EM G C D G

BEATNIK SMOKES AND AMERICAN JIVE
WHAT A MOMENT IN FAR OUT SPACE
SHE’S AN OUTLAW AND A FORCE STRETCHED THIN
CHANGING INTO A STATE OF GRACE
SHE AIN’T NO 50 CENT SITTER
IN A CITY THAT’S FREE AND WILD
SHE STILL BELIEVES IN HER OWN SELF
WANTS TO BE THAT FLOWER CHILD

SOLO

PLAIN OL MAVIS SEEMS SHE MISSED
THAT FREEDOM DEEP DOWN IN HER
WE’RE SURE TO FIND OUR SITTER
WITH A BOTTLE OF CHEAP LIQUER
WE WENT LOOKING FOR MAVIS
SHE WASN’T IN ANY OL PLACE
NOT AT THE BEACH, NOT AT THE SEA
NOT IN THE CITY WHERE WE THOUGHT SHE’D BE
