She's a brick----house She's the one, the only one, who's built like a amazon We're together everybody knows, and here's how the story goes. Verse: 1. She knows she got everything a woman needs to get a man, yeah. How can she use, the things she use 36-24-36, what a winning hand! (Chorus) Verse: 2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways, make an old man wish for younger days She knows she's built and knows how to please Sure enough to knock a man to his knees (Chorus) Bridge: Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat) For more great guitar tabs, check out Rimsky's Guitar Page at: www.angelfire.com/music2/chords/index.html
