Tom: Dm
Verse 1:
D7+ E9
Her name is Cherry, we've just met,
Em9 A7 D7+
But al-ready she knows me better than you.
D7+ E9
She under-stands me, after eighteen years,
Em9 A7 D7+
And you still don't see me like you ought to do.
Chorus 1:
Em9 A7
Maybe we could talk 'bout things,
D7+
If you was made of wood and strings.
Em9 A7
While I love her every sound,
D7+
I dunno how to tune you down.
Em9 A7
You're so thick and my patience thin,
D7+
So I got me a new best friend.
Em9 A7
With a pickup that puts you to shame;
D7+
And Cherry is her name.
Verse 2:
D7+ E9
And when I'm lonely; Cherry's there,
Em9 A7 D7+
And she plays along while I sing out my blues.
D7+ E9
I could be crying and you don't care,
Em9 A7 D7+
You won't call me back; you're stubborn as a mule.
Chorus 2:
Em9 A7
Maybe we could talk 'bout things,
D7+
If you was made of wood and strings.
Em9 A7 D7+
You might think I've gone too far;
Em9 A7 D7+ (n.c)
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar.
