1. I walked down the street like a good girl should,

                            G7             C

    he followed me down the street like I knew he would.

                            G

    Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be,

         G                                C    G      C

    so listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me.

 

      C                            G

2. I walked to my house like a good girl should,

                         G7           C

    he followed me to my house like I knew he would.

                            G

    Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be,

         G                               C     G      C

      F             C              G                C       C7
    I never saw the boy before, so nothin' could be sillier,

       F                C                         D           G    
   at closer range his face was strange, but his manner was familiar.

 

      C                            G

3. So I walked up the stairs like a good girl should,

                           G7           C

    he followed me up the stairs like I knew he would.

                           G

    because a guy is a guy wherever he may be,

         G                                C     G      C

    so listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me.

 

      C                        G

4. I stepped to my door like a good girl should,

                     G7          C

    he stopped at my door like I knew he would.

                           G

    Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be,

         G                               C     G      C

    so listen while I tell you what this fella did to me.

 
 
        F             C                  G                      C    C7
    He asked me for a good-night kiss, I said, "It's still good day."
     
      F               C                         D         G    
    I would have told him more except his lips got in the way.

 

      C                        G

5. So I talked to my Ma like a good girl should,

                     G7        C

    and Ma talked to Pa like I knew she would.

                             G

    And they all agreed on a married life for me,

         G         G      C   G      C

    the guy is my guy wherever he may be.

6. So I walked down the aisle like a good girl should,

                            G7           C

    he followed me down the aisle like I knew he would.

                           G

    Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be,
        

       G                                  C       G      C
