This is how most of our ladies grew up
       A5            A5 
At the country club dances
     A5              A5      E5  E5 E5 E5
They learned how to handle the boys
A5          A5
Gently but firmly
     A5              A5
They learned to say no
           A5               A5
There were four more young men
         A5              A5         E5 E5 E5 
Who were waiting in the color and the noise.
