----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Oh So Protective One - Girls ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: adslam3 NOTE: I know I've seen another tab for this on UG, but this is how I've seen Girls play it. The other one is perfect if you don't have a capo handy so you should definitely check that one out too. I've also put a suggested strum pattern at the bottom that also sounds good, but that's optional. Tuning: Standard with CAPO on 5 (everything relative to capo) C Am [x7] F G VERSE C Oh, little girl they just don't know Am C About the weight that you carry in your soul Am F They just don't know about the fright G About the people and the things you like. C You know you've got nothing to prove Am C The conversations borderline on rude Am F G (stop) And by the time you've had enough How do you tell the one you love? C (to lead to chorus) CHORUS F G He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies F G Never know about the times that you cried to the music F G About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart And just a look will be the start C Am C Am F G VERSE 2 C Oh no oh no it's not your style Am C Why should you have to feel like you're on trial? Am F "I wonder if he is impressed. G Should I have worn the other dress?" C You've never had a doubt about yourself Am C Why should you take it, then, from someone else? Am F G (stop) And if by now he doesn't see, Maybe it wasn't meant to be C (to lead to chorus) CHORUS 2 F G He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies F G Never know about the times that you cried to the music F He'll never know about the feelings that you've had G About him from the start BRIDGE (horn solos) F G F G F F G G F G F G F F G G CHORUS 3 F G He'll never know about the times that you cried in the bedroom F G About the times that you cried in the classroom F G About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart And just a look could be the start ENDING C Am C Am F G-G-G-G-G-G C --STRUMMING-- -This is a good way to play the VERSE, sounds great acoustic or with a band. This is only for the C and Am section of the verse, the rest of the song sound good with normal strumming The arrows will show up/down strokes. ^ for down (towards the e string) And V for up (towards the big E string).
