Capo 1  
 
 
D 
Back in the woods in a shotgun shack  
D 
Right above the railroad tracks  
   D 
In old junk cars and tractor parts  
D                 C          D 
Mary Lou she grew up, Hungry Love 
    D 
Her daddy he left with the new bar maid  
    D 
And momma's in town cause she loves to play  
D 
Mary Lou she's all alone  
        D                               C           D  
With an old stray dog that she loves to hug, hungry love 
        A 
To get away from it all she puts her head phones on  
    G                      
And turns the music way up loud  
          A  
The first boy who comes along and pays her any mind at all  
            G                                       Bm    G       D   
Will be the only love she's ever found, it's in her blood, hungry love  
Mary Lou turned 17  
With a baby bouncin on her knee  
Her sweetheart left in a pick up truck  
So she did just what her mamma had done, hungry love 
She spent her nights out in the bars  
While her baby sat and watched the stars  
With an old black she loved so much  
Growin up to fast to tough, hungry love 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Ohhh ohhh yeah hungry love 
Well its in her blood, hungry love 
Back in the woods in a shotgun shack  
Right above the railroad tracks
