[Intro]
A E A E

[Verse 1]
            A
Yeah, well, I was raised in
    E                     A
the sophisticated kind of style
But my taste in music and women
                    E
drove my folks half wild
D
Mom and Dad had a plan for me,
       A              D
it was debutantes and symphonies
    A               E
But I like my music hot,
                A
I like my women wild

[Chorus]
Yeah, I like my women just
  E                 A
a tad on the trashy side
When they wear their clothes too
                        E
tight and their hair is dyed
D
Too much lipstick and
too much rouge
A
Gets me excited,
          D
leaves me feeling confused
     A
Hey, I like my women just
  E                 A
a tad on the trashy side

[Verse 2]
You should have seen the look
       E                   A
on the faces of my Dad and Mom
When I showed up at the door with
                       E
my date for the senior prom
D
They said, "Pardon us son,
she ain't no kid
A
That's a cocktail waitress
     D
in a Dolly Parton wig"
A
I said, "I know it Dad,
          E
ain't she cool?
                  A
That's the kind I dig."

[Chorus]
Yeah, I like my women just
  E                 A
a tad on the trashy side
When they wear their clothes too
                        E
tight and their hair is dyed
D
Too much lipstick and
too much rouge
A
Gets me excited,
          D
leaves me feeling confused
     A
Hey, I like my women just
  E                 A
a tad on the trashy side

                                             E
But I like 'em brassy, I like 'em brazen and bold
D
They say opposites attract, but I don't agree
  A                      D
I need a woman that's as tacky as me
          A                      E                 A
Yeah, and I like my women just a tad on the trashy side
