Lyrics

Well,

she was stand ing in the bar, I (F)said, “Hel lo, how do you do?” She (G)hand ed me a (F)beer and kan ga roo.

She spoke of plac es I had nev er (F)been that she had trav eled to.

And (G)we slow danced a long to fast er tunes.

And I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dol lar ring, she said, “That’s pret ty cool.

But (G)class y girls don’t (F)kiss in bars, you fool.”

So lat er on, the crowd calmed down and I be lieve it was as if (G)some thing drew me (F)clos er to her lips.

So pic ture my sur prise when I had (F)tried to lean in for a kiss, (G)she just smiled and (F)turned her head down.

I asked her, “Why?”, she re plied it was noth ing I was do ing wrong, “It’s just what it is.”

Oh, (G)class y girls don’t (F)kiss in bars like (C)this.

No, (F)class y girls don’t (G)kiss in bars, (F)boys will break their (G)backs and hearts.

But (F)it’s al right, the hard est part is through.

Oh, through,

oh, through,

oh, through.

The (G7)hard est part is through.
