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)

 |1-3-------------|

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)

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)
