when it gets heavier:

G G-Bb Bb-B-C-G --> C (means slide up to C at the 8th fret)

G C G C (here again: first C at 3rd fret, second at 8th)


Verse:
G C
She's a real upsetter,
G C
Least she's tryin' to all of the time, yeah.
G C
You know I just won't let her,
G C G G C G C
Break this heart of mine, yeahhh ... yeah, yeah, yeah,...

Verse: (same pattern)

I got hip to her, yeah, right away boys,
But my heart just led me along, yeah.
I'm gonna' slip right away boys,
'Cause I don't want to sing this song, all night looooooong-oh, yeah.
