[B] Little [E] Ditty [Bm] by Jack and Diane,
[A] two American kids growing up in the heartland.
[E] Jackie gonna be [D] a football star, [A] Diane's Debbie Tom backseat, oh Jackie's car.
Sucking on chili dog, [D] outside taste [E] freeze, [A] Diane sitting on Jackie's lap, got his hands
between her knees.
Jackie say, hey Diane, let's [D] run off behind the shade [E] of trees, [A] dribble off those Bobby
Brooks, let me do what I please.
Say, oh yeah, [D] life goes [A] on, long [E] after the thrill of living is gone.
