Classy Girls chords

Classy Girls

• A

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
