Start Jamming...
[Bb]
No sweet and pure angelic [C] lass for me.
That [F] kind of gal can spin a web, [F] you see.
[Bb]
She [F] trades on wholesome innocence [Bb] galore.
[D] But it's my independence [Gm] that she's trading for.
The only affirmative [C] she will file refers to marching down [Dm] the aisle.
No golden, glorious, gleaming, [C] pristine goddess.
No sir, for nor Diana [D] do I play fawn.
[Gm] I can tell you that right now.
[Eb] I snarl, [E] I hiss.
[D] How can ignorance be compared to bliss?
[Eb] I spark, I fizz [Bb] for the lady [G] who knows what time it [Eb] is.
I cheer [Bb] and I rail for the virtue I'm [G] too late to [C] save.
The sadder [F] but wiser girl [Bb] for me.
[F]
[Bb]
[F] [A] No [D] bright-eyed, blushing, breathless [Dm] baby doll, baby.
[C] No sir, that kind of [G] child ties knots.
[Bb] No sailor ever knew.
I [D] prefer to take a [Gm] chance on a more adult romance.
No dewy young miss who keeps resisting.
All the time she keeps [Bb] insisting.
No wide-eyed, wholesome, innocent female.
[Am]
[Bbm] Why, she's the [D] fisherman.
I'm the fish, you'll see.
[Bb]
I [Eb] flinch, I shine when alas, with the delicate [G] air goes by.
I [Eb] smile, I grin [G] when the gal with a touch of sin walks [Eb] in.
I hope [Bbm] and I pray for [Dm] Hester to win just one [G] more A.
[Gm] The sadder but wiser girl [Gb] for me.
[Bbm] [Gm] [G]
[F] [Bb] [A]
[C] No giggling, ice cream soda [D] drinker.
[F] Out to hook you, line [C] and sinker.
No honey-fruited, beckoning [D] siren.
[B] I plug my [E] ears and I grab my [Am] oars and I flee.
[C] [F] I cheer, I boo [D] at the Puritan [G]-hearted ingenue.
I yearn, [C] I long for the woman whose [A] pop says what went wrong.
I root [Gb] and I clap for the dame in the gownless [Bbm] evening strap.
[G] The sadder but wiser [C] girl, the girl [A] for me.
[D] The sadder [Em] but wiser [C] girl for me.
[A] [G] [Db] [C] [G]
