Classy Girls The Lumineers
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:
[A]
|--------------------------------------| |-------2-------------------2----------| |---2-----------2--2--2----------2---2-| |--------------------------------------| |-0---0-----------0--0--0----------0---| |--------------------------------------|
[D]
|---------2------------------2---------| |---3------------3--3--3---------3---3-| |--------------------------------------| |-0---0-----------0--0--0----------0---| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------|
[E] [D]
|---------0------------------2---------| |----------------------3---------3---3-| |---1-----------1--1-------------------| |--------------------0---0---------0---| |-2---2-----------2--------------------| |--------------------------------------|
[A]
|--------------------------------------| |-------2-------------------2----------| |---2-----------2--2--2----------2---2-| |--------------------------------------| |-0---0-----------0--0--0----------0---| |--------------------------------------|
intro and verse are just that repeated.
Welll[A]ll, she was stand[A]ing in the bar
I sai[D]d, "Hello, how [D]do you do?"
She [E]handed me a [D]beer with a kangaro[A]o[A]
She s[A]poke of places [A]I had never b[D]een
That she had t[D]raveled to
And [E]we slowed danced [D]along to faster tun[A]es[A]
I [A]made her laugh, I made a pass, I [A]showed her my half dollar r[D]ing
She said, "That's pretty c[D]ool,
But [E]classy girls don't k[D]iss in bars, you fo[A]ol"[A]
Interlude(Picking ends here and strumming starts):
[A] [A] [D] [D] [E] [D] [A]
So [A]later on the [A]crowd calmed down
And [D]I believe it [D]was as if
So[E]mething drew me c[D]loser to her li[A]ps[A]
So [A]picture my su[A]rprise when I had [D]tried to lean in [D]for a kiss
And [E]she just smiled and [D]turned her head down[A] [A]
I a[A]sked her, "Why?" and she replied,
"[A]It was nothing I was doing [D]wrong, its just what it i[D]s"
No, cl[E]assy girls don't ki[D]ss in bars like t[A]his[A]
No, [D]classy girls don't [E]kiss in bars
Boys[D] will break their b[E]acks and hearts
But [D]its alright, the h[E]ardest part is thro[A]ug[D]h[E] [E]
Oh it's through[A] [D] [E] [E]
Oh it's through[A] [D] [E] [E]
Oh it's through[A] [D] [E] [E]
The hardest part is th[A]rough.
Thanks
