[Verse 1]
 D././    A   G././         A(repetitive sequence)
She struts into the room
Well, I don't know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of look her over
 D././    A   G././         A(repetitive sequence)
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly she starts telling me
Her life story, she says
[Chorus]
G"Baby, G6if you wanGna be my G6lover
                        F#   Bm-  A- G

[Verse 2]
 D././    A   G././         A(repetitive sequence)
I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band
 D././    A   G././         A(repetitive sequence)
She asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said, listen baby
You really wouldn't understand, then I said
[Chorus]
G"Baby, G6if you wanGna be my G6lover
                        F#   Bm-  A- G
