TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@hotmail.com
CHORDS:
-------
F (133211)
G (320003) or (320033)
C (x32010)
Cmaj7 (x32000)
Easy song, rather boring, I only did it because it was a request.
Good lyrics though.
The picking part that's used
throughout the song goes
like this:
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------0-----|
G|------0-------0-------0-------|
D|------------0-------2---------|
A|----3-------------3-----------|
E|--1-------3-------------------|
This picking pattern is used in a lot of places in the song, you'll
hear it. The chords through most of the song are 'F G C Cmaj7', you
can always use this picking stuff on those chords. Then he strums
'Am C' at the beginning of the choruses, that's the whole song. I
just strum all the chords, it sounds good to me.
INTRO: [play with picking pattern above]

VERSE 1:
--------
Where's my Peggy Sue?
I could use a Rosalita
If there's a Long Tall Sally out there
I'm dyin' to meet her
Why can't I hear Beth callin' me?
Why can't I be the one to make Sara smile?
I wish I was arm in arm with Jean genie
Walkin' down the aisle
Oh yeah
All right
CHORUS:
-------
Am C <--on these C's in the chorus, you should also
But I got no Mary Jane throw some Cmaj7 in there.
There's no Sloopy or Dancin' Queen
I'm just a fool in the rain
Waitin' on my Billie Jean
I want an Angie, a Mandy, a Candy-O
A devil in a dress of blue
A Rosanna, Diana, a sweet Caroline
I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
Oh yeah
All right
VERSE 2:
--------
Well, I never got to scream for a Layla
I never saw Mary-Anne walkin' away
I never danced on the sand with a Rio
Or woke up with a Maggie May
I dialed 867-5309
But there was no Jenny Jenny
Oh, why can't I get myself a brown-eyed girl
When Willie Nelson loved so many?
CHORUS:
-------
And why does Jack have Diane?
And why does Billy Joe have Bobbie Sue?
And everybody had Roxanne
Except you-know-who
I want an Angie, a Mandy, a Candy-O
A devil in a dress of blue
A Rosanna, Diana, a sweet Caroline
I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
SOLO:
-----
Chords in the solo are just 'F G C Cmaj7' played 4 times.
Make up your own solo.
VERSE 3:
--------
Well I'd take any ol' Suzy Q
I got no reason to be picky
She can be a Goody-Goody-Two-Shoes
Or she can be my Darling Nikki
Oh, Brandy would be such a fine girl
And so would the sweet Judy Blue
I guess I sound just like that other fella
'Cause you know I wish that I had Jessie's girl too
Oh yeah
All right
CHORUS:
-------
Well, I'd die for a kiss from Allison
Even though I know she'd break my heart
Or give me a Lo-lo-lo-lola
Minus the extra part
I want an Angie, a Mandy, a Candy-O
A devil in a dress of blue
A Rosanna, Diana, a sweet Caroline
I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
I want an Angie, a Mandy, a Candy-O
A devil in a dress of blue
A Rosanna, Diana, a sweet Caroline
I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
You know I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
Well, I'd even take a Run-Around Sue
Oh yeah
All right
