I find it easier to just play a normal G and C string.

 E               C# 
What was she for Halloween? 
   E                 C# 
The ugliest girl you ever seen 
 E      G#       C#   E 
Someday she will die alone 
   E                 C# 
And what was she for Valentine's? 
  E              C#  
An old forgotten concubine 
 E              G#   C# 
Someday he will die for no one 
 E         C#       E 
She seemed to me to know 
  E      C#            E 
All the glitter turned sour 
 E        C#          E 
All that lied in her face 
C#      E 
Jesus saves  
 C# G#  C#   C#  G#  C#   C#  G#  C# 
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age 
 E         C# 
It's ok to kill your idols 
 E               C# 
Just pretend you have no rivals 
 C#              G#          E 
We all know that she-e is nameless 
 E                  C# 
Spits at music it's not an issue 
 E               C# 
Just remove the acheful tissue         
 C#             G#        E  
We all know her age is endless 
 E        C#        E 
He seemed to me to know 
 E       C#              E 
All the glitter turned sour 
 E      C#          E 
All that lied in my face 
C#      E 
Jesus saves 
C#  G#  C#   C#  G#  C#   C#  G#   C# 
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age 
C#                              G# 
And she beggs him she says "Pretty please..." 
C#                           G#        C#   E 
Oh, make her pure again, oh, make her cleeean 
 E                 C# 
No one knows she's Hesto Prynn 
 E                   C# 
Someone please tell Anne Boulin 
 E          C#   G#   E 
Chokers are back in again 
 E                 C# 
Some day she won't have to fake it 
 E                C# 
When living with itself seems sacred 
 E               G#   C# 
Someday she will just refuse 
 E              C# E 
He seemed to me to know 
 E       C#             E 
All the glitter turned sour 
 E        C#          E 
All that lied in his face 
C#      E 
Jesus saves 
C#  G#  C# E C#  G#  C# E C#  G#  C#  E 
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age 
C#      E 
Jesus saves 
                      C# G#        C# E 
(Rest in me and)         I'm sorry 
                      C# G#       C# E 
(Peace in piece)         So sorry 
                      C# G#       C# E# 
(Rest in peace and)      I'm sorry 
                      C# G#       (C#) 
(Peace in pieces)        so sorry
