Classy Girls

i wanted to play this song like they do live , in a lot of their acoustic bar
performances . it’s a little loose on structure but very similar to version 2 ,
which is played in C . didn’t feel like hitting transpose button every time .

capo 3
standard tuning

intro/verse picking pattern ( like i said this part is free – styled a little bit ,
but within the chords . you can definitely ad – lib .

intro/First 3 verses picking :

intro and verse are just that repeated .

A A
welllll , she was standing in the bar
D D
i said , “hello , how do you do?”
E D A A
she handed me a beer with a kangaroo

A A D
she spoke of places i had never been
D
that she had traveled to
E D A A
and we slowed danced along to faster tunes

A A D
i made her laugh , i made a pass , i showed her my half dollar ring
D
she said , “that’s pretty cool ,
E D A A
but classy girls don’t kiss in bars , you fool”

interlude ( picking ends here and strumming starts ) :
A A D D E D A

A A
so later on the crowd calmed down
D D
and i believe it was as if
E D A A
something drew me closer to her lips

A A D D
so picture my surprise when i had tried to lean in for a kiss
E D A A
and she just smiled and turned her head down

A
i asked her , “why?” and she replied ,
A D D
“it was nothing i was doing wrong , its just what it is”
E D A A
no , classy girls don’t kiss in bars like this

D E
no , classy girls don’t kiss in bars
D E
boys will break their backs and hearts
D E A D E E
but its alright , the hardest part is through

A D E E
oh it’s through
A D E E
oh it’s through
A D E E
oh it’s through
A
the hardest part is through .

thanks
