[These chords are from Wynonna Judd's recorded version; the version that

Mary Chapin Carpenter does in concert is almost identical, except MCC

plays these chords with a capo on the third fret, raising it to C.]

Eacb cbord represents two beats, or balf of a measure.

[Play most of the chords with a typical rock 'n' roll feel, with sixths

on the offbeats (see tab at end of file). Play sevenths if you want.]

Well, Saturday nights she followed her brother

It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor

While everybody danced to garage band covers

She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords

She didn't care at all for the football heroes

She didn't even notice the basketball stars

Boys as a species were all a bunch of zeros

Except for the ones that played that guitar

Ahh, girls with guitars (She wasn't any debutante)

Girls with guitars (She didn't go out for cheerleading)

Girls with guitars (Boys are kind of nervous 'round)

Now there's an old Chevy van just sitting in the driveway

Filled to the gills with all her stuff

She cut a deal with her brother to drive it up the highway

Figures New York City is close enough

She gets the audition through a friend of a friend

Who's checking out her legs, saying this'll never work

She flips on her Boogie and turns to the band

[There are about a million different positions to play this in,

since it's probably the most well-known riff in rock music. I've

given a couple possibilities, but play it however you want:]
