OK these are the chords to the live version as performed on ‘Live on Letterman’. Catch it on YouTube.
Even so I think this is closer to the single than some of the other contributions.
This song is really good fun if if you have a female vocalist and the live version is a
gutsy rock song.
Don’t be put off by the terribly naff video and the production on the single version.
If the Pistols can do My Way then you can do anything.
Have fun.
The B to C is a slide and the bass pedals on the A through the first half of the chorus.
I've now added the middle eight section. How about a rating someone.
[Verse]
Am B C Dm
This was never the way I planned,
Fm E
not my intention.
Am B C Dm
I got so brave, drink in hand,
Fm E
lost my discretion.
Am B C
It's not what I'm used to,
Dm Fm E
just want to try you on.
Am B C Dm
I'm curious, for you
Fm E
caught my attention.
[Chorus]
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
and I liked it.
Fm E
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
Just to try it.
F E
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
Am C
It felt so wrong,
Dm
It felt so right.

Don't mean I'm in love tonight.

I kissed a girl,
Dm
And I liked it.
Fm E
I liked it
[Verse]
Am B C Dm
No, I don't even know your name,
Fm E
It doesn't matter.
Am B C Dm
You're my experimental game,
Fm E
Just human nature.
Am B C
It's not what good girls do,
Dm Fm E Am
Not how they should behave.
B C Dm
My head gets so confused,
Fm E
Hard to erase.
[Chorus]
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
and I liked it.

The taste of her cherry chapstick.

Just to try it.

It felt so right.

[Bridge]
F E Am
Us girls we are so magical,
G F
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable,
E Am
Hard to resist, so touchable.
G
Too good to deny it.
Dm
Ain't no big deal,
It's innocent.
