How it's played:
[riff 1]
[1-2-3-4]
[riff 1] [riff 2]
[A]Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.
Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour,
her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look.
[riff 2]
She's got the [A]look. She's got the [A]look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn [A]blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for [A]you
and I go: [G]la la la la [D]la she's got the look.
[A]Fire in the ice,
naked to the T-bone is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look.
[riff 2]
[A]Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer, she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look.
[riff 2]
[Chorus]
[riff 1] [riff 2]
Solo:
hold...
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.
And she goes: na na na na na na na na.
The rest of the song is just choruses and riff 2's as required.
The verses are mainly played on the bass, but a guitar can
play: A C G if you like.
