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. 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.
