Girls Women and Ladies
words and music: Ed & Patsy bruce and Ron Peterson
(C) There was only (F) me and her and (C) him
The (F) bar was giving last call, so I thought I’d move on (G) in
(C) And I was slick (F) and feeling like a man (C)
So I (F) took the stool between ‘em
And ordered one more round for me and (G) her and him (C)
I placed my arm across the (F) back of her bar (C) stool
And I don’t re{F}member what I said
But at the time, it sounded (G) cool
She pushed her (C)drink away and (F)never looked at me (C)
She just (F) paid her tab tipped the man
And left me sitting there (G) alone with him (C)
(Chorus)
And he said, “There’s (F) girls and there’s
(G) women and there’s (C) ladies
There’s (F) yeses and there’s (G) no’s and there’s (C) maybes
There’s(F) teasing and (G) pleasing they start (C) learning when they’re (F) babies
There’s (G) girls , there’s women and there’s (C) ladies”
Well, he pushed his old straw (F) hat back and he (C) grinned
And he said, (F) “Ain’t they all a mystery? Sonny, it’s a (G) sin
but they’re all (C) sitting on the world (F) we’re trying to (C) win
Ah, but you (F) know I love a mystery
So let’s drink another round to you and (G) me and (C) them”
Repeat 1st(Chorus)
2nd(Chorus) Goes to (G)
And he said, “There’s (G) girls and there’s
(A) women and there’s (D) ladies
There’s (G) yeses and there’s (A) no’s and there’s (D) maybes
There’s(G) teasing and (A) pleasing they start (D) learning when they’re (G) babies
I LOVE ALL THE (A) girls , the women and the (D) ladies”
And he said, “There’s (G) girls and there’s
(A) women and there’s (D) ladies
There’s (G) yeses and there’s (A) no’s and there’s (D) maybes
There’s(G) teasing and (A) pleasing they start (D) learning when they’re (G) babies
I LOVE ALL THE (A) girls , the women and the (D) ladies”
