She turned fifteen with great expectations
AAEA
Her older brother knew that something was up
AADA
He caught her going through his record collection
AAEA
Looking at Hendrix like a lovesick pup
EEDA
She begged and she pleaded 'til Dad finally listened
EEF#mD
He drove her in the car down to Sears Roebuck
EEDA
He bought her that guitar and that was the beginning
BBEEDAE
Now she's down in the cellar with the amp turned up [guitar break #1

Well, Saturday nights she followed her brother
It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor
While everybody danced to garage band covers
She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords
She didn't care at all for the football heroes
She didn't even notice the basketball stars
Boys as a species were all a bunch of zeros
BBEE5 - G5 - A5 - E5 - G5 - Bb5-A5
Except for the ones that played that guitar [guitar break #2
Ahh, girls with guitars (Ahe wasn't any debutante)
Girls with guitars (Ahe didn't go out for cheerleading)
Girls with guitars (Boys are kind of nervous 'round)
Girls with guitars
DDGG
She went off to college, she got her degree
AAEA
Her parents breathed a sigh of great relief
DDGG
Daddy's thinking law school, mother's thinking medicine
CCEEEE
Daughter's thinking how she's gonna break the news to them

Now there's an old Chevy van just sitting in the driveway
Filled to the gills with all her stuff
She cut a deal with her brother to drive it up the highway
Figures New York City is close enough
She gets the audition through a friend of a friend
Who's checking out her legs, saying this'll never work
She flips on her Boogie and turns to the band
BBE n.c. n.c.
Gives a little grin and blows away the jerk [guitar break #3
Girls with guitars (Now everybody's rocking)
Girls with guitars (There oughta be a song about)
Girls with guitars (There's just no stopping those)
Girls with guitars
