Note there is a little sort of picked riff played often throughout the song its
based on A G D movement, I haven't worked it out exactly ( I haven't got the patience,
or the skill ) I tend to pick around an A to A7 change, then a G to Gm change,
finishing with a D releasing the top E string (Dsus2) and hammering back on the
second fret. It changes a little on repetition but is basically the same
progression. For the basis of the transcription we will call it "Riff 1"




[G]So [Em]factory girl, she [A]listens for the [G]sound of her daddy's [Em]engine

'til the [A]work bell sounds and [D]she leaves town

Riff 1 twice

[G]Know the summers [Em]here are  [A]hot, all she [G]seems to do is [Em]work and sleep

and [A]wish that she was [D]still with you

Riff 1 twice

[C]No you [G]don't know where she [D]is

Lying [C]in her mother's [G]bed

Or [C]who she's sleeping [G]with

Riff 1 x 4, then G Em A G Em A D

Riff 1 x 4 or 5 times, all this over a harmonica.

[G]All the [Em]kids would laugh at [A]her

Because [G]she seemed so sweet and [Em]pure

I [A7]took this shift be[D]cause of her

Riff 1 x 2

[G]No I've [Em]never said a [A]word

I once [G]smiled and looked at [Em]her

'til the [A]shift boss said now get [D]back to work

Riff 1 x 4

[C]Now I [G]don't know where she [D]is

Or [C]who's bed she's sleeping [G]in

Or [C]what man she's sleeping [G]with

Finish with picking over a D G repeated change
