[Verse 1]                     
I was  [A] working part  [G] time in a  [D/F#] five-and-dime,
My  [G] boss was Mr. McGee.  [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] He told me several  [G] times that he  [D/F#] didn't like my kind,
'Cause  [G] I was a bit 2 leisurely.  [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] Seems that I was  [G] busy doing  [D/F#] something close 2 nothing,
But  [G] different than the day before.   [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] That's when I  [G] saw her,  [D/F#] ooh, I saw her
She walked  [G] in through the out door (out door).

[Chorus]                    
She wore a  [A] Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
The  [G] kind U find in a se [D] cond  [G] hand  [A] store
[A]Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
And  [G] if it was warm she wouldn't wear  [D] much  [A] more
[A]Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
I think I  [E] love  [A] her

[Verse 2]                            
[A] Built like she  [G] was, uh, [D/F#] she had the nerve 2 ask me
If I  [G] planned 2 do her any harm   [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] So, look here, I put her on the back  [G] of my bike and-a  [D/F#] we went riding
 [G] Down by old man Johnson's farm   [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] I said now, overcast  [G] days never  [D/F#] turned me on
But  [G] something about the clouds and her mixed   [D]    [G]    [A]  
[A] She wasn't  [G] 2 bright but  [D/F#] I could tell
When she kissed  [G] m

She knew how 2 get her kicks

[Chorus]                    
She wore a  [A] Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
The  [G] kind U find in a se [D] cond  [G] hand  [A] store
[A] Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
And  [G] if it was warm she wouldn't wear  [D] much  [A] more
[A] Rasp [G] berry beret  [D/F#]     
I think I  [E] love  [A] her

[Verse 3]                        
 [D] The rain  [A/C#] sounds so cool  [D] when it  [A/C#] hits the barn roof,
 [NC] And the horses wonder who U are.
 [D] Thunder  [A/C#] drowns out what the  [D] lightning sees  [A/C#]     
U  [NC] feel like a movie star
Listen,  [G] they say  [F#m] the first time  [E] ain't the greatest
But I tell ya,  [NC] if I had the chance 2 do it all again
I  [G] wouldn't change a stroke 'cause  [F#m] baby I'm the most,
With a  [E] girl as fine as she was then.
