Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller

      A
But if she did
            G                D
He'd of taken her to Paris
       A
And if she did
                  G                     D
She'd have smoked a lot of opium

She'd have dyed her hair blue
       A
And if she did
       G             D
She might be alive

Cause if she did
                G                D
He'd have taken her to Paris
A
Tied her to the bed

And eaten dinner off of her
A
And okay maybe
                 G                    D
She'd have died the same, anyway

Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe

Oh-ohh Henry Miller
       A    G              D
Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe
 

Notes: I wrote the chords out as if they'd be played if you tuned the guitar down a half-step. If you don't, you can either use these chords and play everything a half-step higher or use bar chords, which is what Dan does in concert. Keep in mind, if you're using this music with bar chords, you need to drop ever chord a half-step (D becomes Db, and so on).
