Classy Girls chords by The Lumineers

Guitar chords with lyrics


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.

Capo 3
Standard tuning

Intro/verse picking pattern (Like i said this part is free-styled a little bit,
but within the chords. You can definitely ad-lib.

Intro/first 3 Verses picking:

intro and verse are just that repeated.

A        A
Welllll, she was standing in the bar
   D       D
I said, "Hello, how do you do?"
  E      D         A A
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo

A       A      D
She spoke of places I had never been
       D
That she had traveled to
  E        D         A  A
And we slowed danced along to faster tunes

A                A             D
I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar ring
             D
She said, "That's pretty cool,
  E          D         A  A
But classy girls don't kiss in bars, you fool"

Interlude(Picking ends here and strumming starts):
A A D D E D A

A      A
So later on the crowd calmed down
  D      D
And I believe it was as if
 E        D       A  A
Something drew me closer to her lips

A      A         D        D
So picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss
  E          D          A  A
And she just smiled and turned her head down

A
I asked her, "Why?" and she replied,
 A             D            D
"It was nothing I was doing wrong, its just what it is"
   E         D        A  A
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this

D         E
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars
  D         E
Boys will break their backs and hearts
  D         E         A D E E
But its alright, the hardest part is through

A D E E
Oh it's through
        A D E E
Oh it's through
        A D E E
Oh it's through
           A
The hardest part is through.

Thanks
