[Intro] BPM 123
| A G | D/F# | G | D G A |
[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.
