One of the Boys Katy Perry
A/N This is ear-transcribed, however I have been playing music for a very long time and
know what notes are what. This song is not too difficult, it simply requires dedicated
to get the strumming pattern and chord progression correct. Good Luck!
Capo 1st fret
INTRO: Fno5/A, A5, A5/F
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
I saw a spider, I didn't scream
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
'Cause I can belch the alphabet
[A5/F]just double-dog-dare me
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
And I chose guitar over ballet
Fno5/A A5
And I tape these suckers down
[A5/F] 'cause they just get in my way
[D#mmaj13/A]The way you lo[A#maj13/A]ok at me[Bmaj13/A#]
[G]Is kinda like a little sister
[D#mmaj13/A]You high-five [A#maj13/A]your goodbye[Bmaj13/A#]s
[G]And it leaves me nothing but blisters
[E]So I don't wanna be [A]one of the boys, [A#]one of your guys
[C#]Just give me a chance to [A#]prove to you tonight
[E]That I just wanna be [A]one of the girls
[A#]Pretty in pearls, not [C#]one of the boys
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
So over summer, something changed
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
I started reading "Seventeen" and shaving my legs,
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
And I study "Lolita" religiously.
Fno5/A A5 A5/F
And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me
[D#mmaj13/A]'Cause I know [A#maj13/A]what you kno[Bmaj13/A#]w
[Bmaj13/A#]But now you're gonna have to t[G]ake a number
[D#mmaj13/A]It's okay, may[A#maj13/A]be one day[Bmaj13/A#]
[Bmaj13/A#]But not until you give me m[G]y diamond ring
[E]'Cause I don't wanna be [A]one of the boys, [A#]one of your guys
[C#]Just give me a chance to [A]prove to you tonight
[E]That I just wanna be your[A] homecoming queen[A#]
[A#]Pinup poster dream, n[C#]ot one of the b[E]oys
[D#mmaj13/A]I wanna be a f[A#maj13/A]lower, not a[Bmaj13/A#] dirty weed[G]
[D#mmaj13/A]I wanna smell [A#maj13/A]like roses, [Bmaj13/A#]not a baseball [G]team
[D#mmaj13/A]And I swear ma[A#maj13/A]ybe one day
[Bmaj13/A#]You're gonna wanna [G]make out, make out, make out with me
[E](Don't wanna b[A]e)
[A]Don't wanna b[A#]e
[A#](Don't wanna b[C#]e)[A#]
[E]So I don't wanna be [A]one of the boys, [A#]one of your guys
[C#]Just give me a chance to pr[A#]ove to you tonight
[E]That I just wanna be [A]one of the girls
[A#]Pretty in pearls, not[C#] one of the boys
