easy, simple rock beat--
really easy to follow with the orig. recording
Gway on the other sDide of the hudson
 deep in the bosom of suGburbia
Gi met a young girl Dshe sang mighty fine
 "tears on my pillow" and "avGe maria".
B7standing by the water Emfall in paramus pB7ark
she was working for the Emfriends of B.AA.I.
she was collecting Dquarters in a paper Acup
she was looking for cDhange (and so was i).
Gshe was a jewish girl Di fell in love with her
 she wrote her number on the Gback of my hand
i called her up i was Dall out of breath i said
"come hear me play in a Grock and roll band".
B7i took a shower and Emput on my best blue jB7eans
i picked her up in my Emnew VW vAan
she wore a peasant Dblouse with nothing underAneath
i said "hi" she said "Dyeah i guess i am."
Ga--riDel (aaa...)Ga--riDel ...
Gwe had a little time Dwe were real hungry
we went to dairy queen for Gsomething to eat
Gshe had an onion ring Dshe had a pickle
she forgot to tell me that she dGidn't eat meat.
B7i had a gig in the aEmmerican legion hB7all
it was a dance for the voEmlunteer ambulance cAorps
she was sittin in a cDorner against the Awall
she would smile and i Dmelted all over the floor.
Ga--riDel  (aaa...)Ga--riDel..

Gi took her home with me (Dwe) watchin' tv
annette funicello and some Gguy goin' steady
i started foolin' arDound with the vertical hold
we got the munchies and i Gmade some spaghetti.
B7we sat and talked inEmto the niB7ght
but channel two was sEmignin' off the Aair
i found the Dsoftness of her mouAth
we made love to bombs Dbursting in air...
