Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
She turned [G]fifteen with
[C]great expecta[G]tions
Her older brother knew
[D]somethin' was [G]up
He caught her going through his
re[C]cord collec[G]tion
Lookin' at Hendricks like a [D]love [G]sick pup
She [D]begged and she pleaded
'till Dad [C]finally [G]listened
He [D]drove her in the car down
[Em]to Sears [C]Roebuck
He [D]bought her that guitar and
[C]that was the begin[G]ning
Now she's [A]down in the cellar with
the [D]amp turned [C]up[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Girls with guitars
[C]Daddy's little [G]angel
Girls with guitars
[D]What's the world [C]coming to?
[G]Girls with guitars
[C]Mothers tend to [G]worry about

[Verse 3]
Well, Sat[Gm]urday night[G]s
she fol[C]lowed her brother
[G]It was socks and stockings
on [D]the old gym [G]floor
While everybody danced to
gar[C]age band cover[G]s
She was [Gm]checking out riffs and
[G]memor[D]izing chord[G]s
She [D]didn't care at all for
the [C]football her[G]oes
[D]She didn't even notice
the bas[Em]ketball [C]stars
[D]Boys as a species were [C]all a
[G]bunch of zer[A]oes
Except for the ones that
[D]played that [G]guitar[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Girls with guitars
She [C]wasn't any [G]de butante
Girls with guitars
She did[D]n't go out [C]for cheerlead[G]ing
Girls with guitars
[C]Boys are kinda [G]nervous 'round
Girls with [D]guitars[G]

[Verse 5]
She [C]went off to college,
she [F]got her degree
Her par[G]ents breathed a sigh
of great relief
[C]Daddy's thinking law school,
[F]Mother's thinking medicine
[Bb]Daughter's thinking how she's gonna [D]break the news

[Verse 6]
Now there's an [G]old Chevy van just
sitting [C]in [G]the driveway
Filled to the gills [D]with all her stuff
[G]She cut a deal with her brother to[Gm]
[G]dri[C]ve up the highway[G][Gm]
Figures New York City is [D]close enough
[G]She get[D]s the audition through
[C]a friend of a [G]friend
Who's [D]checking out her legs saying,
[Em]"This will never [C]work!"
She [D]flips on her boogie and turn[C]s[G]
