This song sounds best with a palm mute in the verses.
And when playing the G/B in the chorus moving the B
note (on the a string) to a F# (on the g string) sounds better. I'm not sure what that chord is
called but it sounds a lot better in the song with the F# instead of the B, but both work.
[Verse]
Em7 G
Isn't it a little late?
D/F# C
Shouldn't you fly away?
Em7 G
A little dove with cigarettes
D/F# C
Show them that you can hold your breath
[Chorus]
C Em7
I heard about a girl
G G/B
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Em7
Painted on lipstick red
C
Grew herself up and then she'd...
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Oh, no one could keep their eyes off you
G/B
Have a little drink or two
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Little black dress and mama's shoes
C
Isn't it a bit too soon?
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
C/G
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
G/B
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Oh, I believe love will follow you
G/B
Isn't it a bit too soon?
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
[Verse]
Em7 G
Take a step around the room
D/F# C
And every head keeps turning too
Em7 G
Little dove, you fight them back
D/F# C
Show them you're so much more than that
[Chorus]
C Em7
I heard about a girl
G G/B
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Em7
Painted on lipstick red
C
Grew herself up and then she'd...
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Oh, no one could keep their eyes off you
G/B
Have a little drink or two
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Little black dress and mama's shoes
C
Isn't it a bit too soon?
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
C/G
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
C Em7
Walk into a smoke filled room
G
Oh, I believe love will follow you
G/B
Isn't it a bit too soon?
C
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
