I wanted to play this song like they do live, in a lot of their acoustic bar
performances. It's a little loose on structure but very similar to Version 2,
which is played in C. Didn't feel like hitting transpose button every time.

intro and verse are just that repeated.
AA
Welllll, she was standing in the bar
DD
I said, "Hello, how do you do?"
EDAA
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo
AAD
She spoke of places I had never been
D
That she had traveled to
EDAA
And we slowed danced along to faster tunes
AAD
I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar ring
D
She said, "That's pretty cool,
EDAA
But classy girls don't kiss in bars, you fool"
Interlude(Picking ends here and strumming starts):
AADDEDAAA
So later on the crowd calmed down
DD
And I believe it was as if
EDAA
Something drew me closer to her lips
AADD
So picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss
EDAA
And she just smiled and turned her head down
A
I asked her, "Why?" and she replied,
ADD
"It was nothing I was doing wrong, its just what it is"
EDAA
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this
DE
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars
DE
Boys will break their backs and hearts
DEADEE
But its alright, the hardest part is through
ADEE
Oh it's through
ADEE
Oh it's through
ADEE
Oh it's through
A
The hardest part is through.
