Keep in mind that I am a sax player by trade, guitar is not my strong suit!
This is a pretty straight-forward folk song using only the
I, IV and V chords, key of F major. Emphasis is on the off-beats
throughout the song.
---- = 1 beat
tempo = 120

Verse:
Met an old lady from Carlsbad who got bit on the ankle by a spider
F Bb C
Swelled on up to about the size of her knee
F C
Carryin' clothes in a plastic bag and breathin' kinda heavy
F Bb
Havin' a hard day it was plain to see
F C F
Transition (just after previous "F" chord)

She said "Somebody stole my shopping cart, it sittin' outside the door.
Bb F
I don't understand who could be so cruel!"
F C
She said "Karma is a serious thing and a force to be reckoned with, and,
Bb F Bb
Well, the whippersnapper that took it is a fool!"
F C F
Transition (just after previous "F" chord)

|1-3-------------|
And now I'm walkin' with an old lady down to the corner bus stop
C F
Talkin' 'bout Jesus and how her heart he won
Bb F C
Talkin' with an old lady down at the corner bus stop
Bb F Bb
She said "'Spect you a miracle for the deed you done!"
F C F
End (just after previous "F" chord)
