[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.
