[Intro]
E B A E B A E B A E B A

[Verse]
E A E A
Have you seen her, she's dressed in red fur
E C#m A B
And she's walking down a street like 5th Avenue
E A E A
She's got fine shoes, she don't pay no dues
E C#m A B
Except for days and days and days with her analyst crew

[Bridge]
A B
Pink tights at night for the disco
A B
Fall calls her to balls in San Francisco
A B
Airports, luggage, a nuisance
A B
Mention politics, she throws in her two cents

[Chorus]
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, take her scissor and she cut off a curl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl,
F#m G#m
She writes when this you see, you'll remember me
A B
I think my god she'll follow me around the world

[Interlude]
E A E A

[Verse]
E A E A
I got my faults, I don't need no Gestalt
E C#m A B
modern insecurity, Twentieth Century plan
E A E A
And I confess, I'd like to watch you undress
E C#m A B
I'll help you take off your jewelry, I'm gonna help you any way I can

[Bridge]
A B
Pulling up in a chauffeur driven Cadillac
A B
To an after-hour Club; some say it's where it's at
A B
But who's that gentleman with the ...
A B
I'm asking you who's the old man with the ...

[Chorus]
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, take her scissor and she cut off a curl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl,
F#m G#m
She writes when this you see, you'll remember me
A B
I think my god she'll follow me around the world

[Interlude]
E B A A A B A E B A A A B A

[2nd Bridge]
E B A A A B A
And I think now am I too hard
E B A A A B A
Is it just 'cause she has all those credit cards?
E B A A A
Could it be just petty jealousy?
F#m G#m
But when I'm walking down 57th Avenue
A B
And our eyes just happen to meet I know I want a
E B A E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, Continental Kinda Girl

[Interlude]
E A E A

[Verse]
E A E A
She gets in motion on either side of the ocean
E C#m
She can hang out with the dirty rock and rollers,
A B
she can hang out with the shieks
E A E A
She got important places in important faces
E C#m A B
Watch her go through customs carrying psychedelic antiques

[Bridge]
A B
So twistewd, wanted, desired
A B
Remember Madam Claude where the rich men would buy her
A B
Anything she wanted as long as she was wanted
A B
As long as she was wanted my dreams they are haunted

[Chorus]
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, take her scissor and she cut off a curl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl, puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl
E B A
Continental Kinda Girl,
F#m G#m
She writes when this you see, you'll remember me
A B B B
I think my god she'll follow me around the world
