[CHORDS]
D A G B
A|--0--0--2--1-----|
E|--2--0--3--1-----|
C|--2--1--2--2-----|
g|--2--2--0--3-----|
For the bridge, we play the G-D-A differently to simulate the synth. G is the same but the
D and the A use the G shape up the neck. I'll denote with an *
G D* A*
A|--2--9--4--|
E|--3--10-5--|
C|--2--9--4--|
g|--x--x--x--|
In the chorus, where it goes A BB A B A after "Jessie's girl!", if you aren't
fast enough to change from A to B, just play it like this:
A B B A B A
A|--x-x-x-x--x-x--|
E|--x-x-x-x--x-x--|
C|--1-3-3-1--3-1--|
g|--2-4-4-2--4-2--|
Finally, the interlude replicates the chorus riff but lower: we'll slide into G# here
F# G#
A|--1--3--|
E|--2--4--|
C|--1--3--|
g|--3--5--|
In the verse, play each chord twice. Like this: DD-AA-BB (brief pause) GG-AA-DD
[Intro]
D D - A A - B B (brief pause) G G - A A - D D
D D - A A - B B (brief pause) G G - A A - D D
[Verse 1]
D A B G A D
Jessie is a friend
D A B G A D
(Yeah I) know he's been a good friend of mine
D A B G A D
(But) lately something's changed (That ain't) hard to define
D A B G A D
(Jessie's) got himself a girl (And I) wanna make her mine
[Pre-Chorus]
D A B G A D
And she's watching with those eyes
D A B G A D
And she's lovin' him with that body I just know it
D A B G A D
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
[Chorus]
PM------------------------ A D D D A B B A B A
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
A D D D A B B A B A
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
D B G D (play staccato and pause)
Where can I find a woman like that?
[Verse 2]
D A B G A D
(I play) along with this charade
D A B G A D
(That) doesn't seem to be a reason to change
D A B G A D
(You know I) feel so dirty (When they) start talking cute
D A B G A D
(I wanna) tell her that I love her But the point is probably moot
[Pre-Chorus]
D A B G A D
And she's watching him with those eyes
D A B G A D
And she's lovin' him with that body I just know it

And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
[Chorus]

Where can I find a woman like that
[Bridge]
G (pm---) D* (pm--) A* (pm-------) x2
G (pm---) D* (pm--) A* (pm------------)
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
G (pm---) D* (pm--) A* (pm------------)
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
G (pm---) D* (pm--) A* (pm------------)
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines

Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
