Oh Deanna 
     C 
Oh Deanna! 
F    C 
Oh Deanna 
F                    C 
You know you are my friend, yeah 
F            D                      G 
And I ain't down here for your money 
G        D                    G 
I ain't down here for your love 
G        D                           D 
I ain't down here for your love or money 
D                      C 
I'm down here for your soul 



C                        F 
There's no carpet on the floor 
C                      F 
And the winding cloth holds many moths 
C              F 
Around your Klu-Klux furniture 
C              F               
I come of deaths head in your frock 
D               G 
We discuss the murder plan 
D                          G 
We discuss murder and the murder act 
D                              G 
Murder takes the wheel of your Cadillac 
G                        C 
And death climbs in the back 



C    F 
Oh Deanna 
F    C 
Oh oh Deanna 
F         C 
Sweet Deanna 
F    C 
Oh oh Deanna 
F               C 
Well, this is a car 
F              C 
and this is a gun now 
F              C 
And this a day number one 
F     C 
Oh Deanna 
F          D 
The little crime woven histories 
G                D 
are black and a smoking christmas trees 
G           D 
And honey, it ain't mystery 
G                       C 
Why you're a mystery to me 



F               C 
We will eat out of their pantries 
F           C 
And their parlours 
F                      C 
Ashy leaving in their beds 
F                D 
And we'll unload into their heads 
G          D 
On this mean season 
G             D 
But this little angel that I squeezing 
G 
She ain't been mean to me 



C       F 
Oh Deanna 
     C 
Oh Deanna! 
F    C 
Oh Deanna 
F                      C 
You are my friend and my partner 
F                   C 
On this house on the hill 
G        D                    G 
I ain't down here for your love or money 
G        D                           G 
I ain't down here for your love  
G                      C 
I'm down here for your soul 




C     F 
Oh Deanna 
C     F 
Oh Deanna 
F        C 
I Am A knocking 
F                          C 
With my toolbox and my stocking 
F                          C 
Well I'll meet you on the corner 
F                       C 
And you point it like a finger 
F                       C 
And squeeze its little things now 
F                           C 
I hear it's kick, hear it's bang 
F          D 
And let no worry about it's issue 
G       D 
Don't worry about where its been 
G          D 
and don't worry about where it hits 
G                          C 
Cause it just ain't yours to sin 




C     F 
Oh Deanna 
F                      C 
No it just ain't your to sin 
F      C 
Sweet Deanna 
F                     C 
I ain't getting any younger 
F                     C 
And I don't intend gettin' any older 
F                   C 
The sun a hump at my shoulder 
C     F 
Oh Deanna               
F                        D 
And I ain't down here for your money 
G        D 
I ain't down here for your love 
G        D 
I ain't down here for your love of money 
G                      C 
I'm down here for your soul
