Here is a no capo version. Its the same key as the previous tab, just an octave lower.
This is just how I play it and is open to interpretation. Listen to the song to decide
where you want to finger pick and/or strum. Each verse is 8 measures, 1 chord per
measure = 8 chords per verse. That's just how I remember the rhythm.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C C
Well she was standing in the bar
F F
I said, "Hello, how do you do?"
G F C C
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo
C C F
She spoke of places I had never been
F
That she had traveled to
G F C C
And we slowed danced along to faster tunes
C C F
I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar ring
F
She said, "That's pretty cool,
G F C C
But classy girls don't kiss in bars, you fool"
[Interlude]
C C F F G F C C
C C
So later on the crowd calmed down
F F
And I believe it was as if
G F C C
Something drew me closer to her lips
C C F F
So picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss
G F C C
And she just smiled and turned her head down
C
I asked her, "Why?" and she replied,
C F F
"It was nothing I was doing wrong, its just what it is"
G F C C
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this
F G
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars
F G
Boys will break their backs and hearts
F G C F G G
But its alright, the hardest part is through
C F G G
Oh it's through
C F G G
Oh it's through
C F G G
Oh it's through
C
The hardest part is through
The C F G G progression at the end also sounds okay as C F G C barre, but I like the
sound of C F G G on a solo guitar better. Whatever suits your fancy.
Thanks for reading!
