Key: D

-4    -6*-6*  -6* -6*  6  -6*  
She'll on-ly come out at night
-5   6    6   6  -5   6
The lean and hun-gry type
-5    -5 -5  -5
Noth-ing is new, 
5     -5   -5   6  -5 5*-4-3
I've seen her here be- fore
-6*   -5  -4   -6*  -5
Watch-ing and wait-ing
-4   -5    6    6   -5   6
Oo, she's sit-ting with you 
6   -5   6    6 -6* 6-5  -4 
but her eyes are on the door
6  -6*-6* -6*  -7  -6*-6*    
So man-y have paid to see 
6     6    6      -5   6   6    -5   6
What you think you're get-ting for free
-5   6   6 -5   6  
The wom-an is wild, 
-5 6   6   -6*  6   6  -5* -5* 6 -6*-5*-45* 
a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jag-u- ar
-6*  -5  -4  -6* -5
Mon-ey's the mat-ter
-4   -5   6  6  -5   6
If you're in it for love 
-5    6    6  6  -6*  -5 6-5-4
you ain't gon-na get too  far

-45* -5  6   -4
Oh here she comes
-4     5*  -5   6     -6* -7 -6*-5
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
-45* -5  6   -4
Oh here she comes
6    -5 -6*  6  -5
She's a man-eat-er

I would-n't if I were you
-6*-6*  6    6  -5  6
I know what she can do
-5      6   6 6     -5  6    6  
She's dead-ly man, and she could 
-6*  -5 -5*  -5*  -6* -5* -45*
Real-ly rip your world a-part

She's a man-eat-er
