I enjoy this song. It's pretty simple played with first position open chords...

Intro- start strumming that Am...

Verse I

Am D G Am
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie

Am D G
Took him for all he was worth

Am D G Am
Now she's a swinger, dating a singer

Am D G
And I can't decide which is worse

Chorus

Em C G D
But not---me---ba----by

Em C G D
I've got you---to---save---me

G D C
Yer so bad

G D C
The best thing I ever had

G D C
In a world gone mad

G D C D
Yer so bad

Verse II

Am D G Am
My sister's ex husband, can't get no lovin'

Am D G
Walks around all dog faced and hurt

Am D G Am
Now he's got nothin', head's in the oven

Am D G
And I can't decide which is worse

REPEAT CHORUS

hope that turned out alright. It seems to sound alright enough. Good enough to at least fool my friends and family

yes there is. i like to use a D DU UDU for each chord. when it gets to the yer so bad part. i strum the G once, the D once, and then use my strum pattern on the C chord. hope this helps ya out a bit
