Standard Tuning
Adapted from chords on Chordify & Riffstation.
This is my first tab from scratch. It sounds OK to me, but
feel free to reach out or comment with edits.
The lines with // are on the track, but seem odd to sing if you're not playing the interlude.
On the G#m-F# progression pluck the B string after strumming to get the single-note accent.
The lines with [G#m]F# have no chords on the track.
Could be played with both chords like the rest of the song, with just the F#, or nothing.
This may be obvious? But the first chords for most lines are found at the end of the previous line.
E - x79997
B - x24442
F# - 244322
G#m - 466444
C# - x46664
[Verse]
E B F#
Isn't it a little late
G#m F#
Shouldn't you fly away
E B F#
Little dove with cigarettes
G#m F# E
Show 'em that you can hold your breath
[Chorus]
B F#
I heard about a girl
G#m F# E
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
B F#
Painted on lipstick red
[G#m]F# E
Grew herself up and then she'd
B F#
Walk into a smoke filled room
G#m F# E
Oh no one could keep their eyes off you
B F#
Have a little drink or two
G#m F# E
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
B F#
Walk into a smoke filled room
G#m F# E
Little black dress and mama's shoes
B F#
Isn't it a bit too soon
G#m F# E
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
[Instrumental]
// G#m F# E
// Oh how could you be that girl I knew
B F#
Walk into a smoke filled room
G#m F# E
Oh I believe love will follow you
B F#
Isn't it a bit too soon
G#m F# E
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
[Verse]
B F#
Take a step around the room
G#m F# E
And every head keeps turning too
B F#
Little dove, you fight 'em back
G#m F# E
Show em you're so much more than that
[Chorus]
B F#
I heard about a girl
G#m F# E
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
B F#
Painted on lipstick red
[G#m]F# E
Grew herself up and then she'd

G#m F# E
Little black dress and mama's shoes
B F#
Isn't it a bit too soon
[G#m]F# E
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
[Instrumental]
// G#m F# E
// Oh how could you be that girl I knew
[Outro]
B F#
Walk into a smoke filled room
G#m F# E
Oh I believe love will follow you
B F#
Isn't it a bit too soon
G#m F# E
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
