Huh?

I want her (Am)pal er than the moon

with eyes that shine like stars.

My girl will (E)mar vel at my strength,

a dore my bat tle scars.

I (F#7)could n’t care less what she’ll wear or what she looks like.

It (B7sus)all de pends on what she cooks like.

(B7)Beef,

pork,

chick en...

Mmmmmm...

Bet the lo cal girls thought you were quite the charm er.

And I’ll bet the la dies love a man in ar mor.

You can (A)guess what we have missed the most since we went off to (C#m)war.

My girl will (A)think I have no faults.

How ’bout a (E)girl whose got a brain,

My (F#7)man ly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her.

He (B7sus)thinks he’s such a la dy (B7)kill er.

(A)Wish that I had a (Am)girl worth fight ing (E)for.
