Verse:
A5 F#5
She likes extra ordinary sentimental things
G5 (pull off riff A-G-E)
So I tried to make her smile
A5 F#5
That's when the room started shaking from my double taking
G5 E5
And my jaw dropped down a mile
A5 C5
All my friends tried to tell me it was an accident
G5 A5
But I'll never be the same
A5
Those pretty brown eyes
F#5
Smiling back at me
g5 E
as I whispered "what's your name?"
And she said...
[Refrão]A C
Stella! Jessica!
D (riff A-C-G)
My Name is Matilda!
A C
Stella! Jessica!
D G
Get it right or I'll beat ya!
A C
Stella! Jessica!
D (riff A-C-G)
Well... Please to meet ya!
A C
Stella! Jessica!
D
Oh... wow... wow...
Verse 2:
She had all her friends around her when I broke the ice
And she said she was a nurse
Wearing panties over pants she brought us a beer
and I'm glad I saw her first
Cause a friend of mine showed up just a little late
And I guess I am to blame
He said everybody needs another round of shots
And he whispered what's your name
And she said...
Chorus x3 with guitar solo
Verse 3:
Well the party wasn't over it was going great!
When I heard her shout one more!
But by the time i found my way
back from the bar she had found the door
And the room smelled of orchids that's her favorite flower
so I guess she's live in fame
As the pretty brown eyes
smiling back at me
as I whispered what's your name...
