[Verse 1]

Csus4 C Csus2

For a small girl

Barbara sure has got a

Csus4 C Csus2

Big crush

Csus4 C Csus2

The kind that makes you wanna

To New York City in a

Bad way

Csus4 C Csus2

Tells me quietly she has

Absolutely nothing to say

C Csus2 Csus4 C Csus2

But I don't seem to mind

Csus4 C Csus2

And she says

Csus4 C Csus2

She won't listen to our

Band play

Csus4 C Csus2

She hates songs that never

Csus4

Seem to go away

Em G

And now neither will mine
