The Oh So Protective One - Girls
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: adslam3
NOTE: I know I've seen another tab for this on UG, but this is how I've seen
Girls play it. The other one is perfect if you don't have a capo handy
so you should definitely check that one out too.
I've also put a suggested strum pattern at the bottom that also sounds good,
but that's optional.
Tuning: Standard with CAPO on 5 (everything relative to capo)
[x7]
VERSE
Oh, little girl they just don't know
About the weight that you carry in your soul
They just don't know about the fright
About the people and the things you like.
You know you've got nothing to prove
The conversations borderline on rude
Am F G (stop)
And by the time you've had enough
How do you tell the one you love?
C (to lead to chorus)
CHORUS
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart
And just a look will be the start
VERSE 2
Oh no oh no it's not your style
Why should you have to feel like you're on trial?
"I wonder if he is impressed.
Should I have worn the other dress?"
You've never had a doubt about yourself
Why should you take it, then, from someone else?
Am F G (stop)
And if by now he doesn't see,
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
C (to lead to chorus)
CHORUS 2
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
He'll never know about the feelings that you've had
About him from the start
BRIDGE (horn solos)
CHORUS 3
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the bedroom
About the times that you cried in the classroom
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart
And just a look could be the start
ENDING
--STRUMMING--
-This is a good way to play the VERSE, sounds great acoustic or with a band.
This is only for the C and Am section of the verse, the rest of the song
sound good with normal strumming
The arrows will show up/down strokes. ^ for down (towards the e string)
And V for up (towards the big E string).
