Intro: Bm – F#m – G – A G (2x)

          Bm                        F#m
My mother said, don't mess with the lady in the park
             G                                   A
She may be dressed up and strapped down but I'm sure
             G
she's gonna break your heart

Bm                        F#m
shake round, shake round, shake round, she starts
G                                A                G 
you might get your rocks off but you won't find   true love

Bm                      F#m     
Now I know the woman    cares so I'm ashamed 
            G                                 A           G           
but when I saw the flashing glitter and the line that she made into the

Bm                 F#m
sand as if I could not get that far
G                              A                  G
I stopped and to consider and when I walked away she said,


  F#
I thought you were a man
   G
I heard you play guitar
    A                     G        A
and I will take you in to show you what it's for

    F#                   G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm                  A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star

Bm – F#m – G – A G
 
        Bm                   F#m
all my friends believe that she's in love with them 
      G                                    A
but I know the bitter truth cause I'm the only one listening 

            Bm                     F#m
when she commands us, to do this, that, and now and then
G                                    A         G
she takes me around back and when I fall down, she says

   F#
I thought you were a man
    G
so what you cryin for  
   A                              G         A
if you don't hold me tight, I'll leave you on the floor

    
    F#                   G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm                  A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star

Bm – F#m – G – A G

    Bm                        F#m
of course I tried to do what I'd been taught was right
        G                         A            G
but all I ever thought about "el seso, senor", we did

Bm                           F#m
nothing to complain a–bout then I'd have to pay
G                           A             G
the story in the end always went the same way

F#                       G
I thought you were a man I heard you were a star
    A                         G 
and I will take you in if you strum on your guitar

    F#                   G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm                  A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star

Bm – F#m – G – A G

           Bm                       F#m      
my mother said don't you mess with that lady in the park
            G                           A (break)
she is the kind of girl you don't need, ah
                  G (break)
she'll break      your heart

Bm                         F#m
shake round, shake round, shake round and than she'll start
G                                  A          G          
when she takes she clothes off, I don't want you seeing

F# – G – A – G
