[INTRO: ]D7+ E7 Em7 A7 D7+ 2X
D7+
Her name is Cherry
E7
We've just met
Em7
But already she knows me
A7 D7+
Better than you
She understands me
E7
After eighteen years
Em7
And you still don't see me
A7 D7+
Like you ought to do
Em7 A7
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
D7+
If you was made of wood and strings
Em7 A7
While I love her every sound
D7+
I dunno how to turn you down
Em7 A7
You're so thick and my patience thin
D7+
So I got me a knew best friend
Em7 A7
With a pickup that puts you to shame
D7+
And Cherry is her name
(SOLO)
D7+
And when I'm lonely
E7
Cherry's there
Em7
And she plays along
A7 D7+
While I sing out my blues
I could be crying
E7
And you don't care
Em7
You won't call me back
A7 D7+
You're stubborn as mule
Em7 A7 D7+
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
Em7 A7 D7+
If you was made of wood and strings
Em7 A7 D7+
You might think I've gone too far
Em7 A7 D7+
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar
