Verse:
Bm G
In the back of the room
A Db
It was there that I saw you
Gbm B
In a shirt that you wore
Em7 A7
Knowing I'd be in the store
Gb Bm
Then you left, down the stairs
G A Db7
Follow you I wouldn't dare
Gbm B7
I accepted my fate
Bm E7 A A7
That I'd never see your face again, again
Chorus:
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You know you're famous in my group of friends
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I feel a sudden urge to
E A A7
Purchase the book you shelved the other day
Post-Chorus:
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A Gb
Bookstore girl
Verse:
Bm
Going back, just to see
G
If still in the store you'd be
Gbm B G A Gb
Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me
Bm Em A7
Knowing more than just your name
Abm Gbm
It wouldn't be the same
B Bm
Remaining fantasy
E A A7
That's more romantic to me -to me-
Chorus:
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You see, the shame is, I might never know
D Em A Gb Bm
I'll always have the Adler, Stein and Nelson
E A A7
Authors I fell in love with when I met
Post-Chorus:
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A Gb
Bookstore girl
Dbm Gb
I asked you foolishly
Bm Gbm
If you work 'til 3
D E
On a Sunday afternoon
G Gm D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
E
-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah-
G Gm Gbm Em D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
I wish Miley still sang this type of stuff
This is honestly the cutest song
I find -4 the best, ( I replace the A7 for an F ) for the picking pattern I use:
C G F
———————–3————————————2———————————0—————
——-0——-0———–0—————3——3————3————1—–1———–1———
——-0—————————-0——-2————————-2——-0————————-0–
—————————————————————————————————————–
So I go C, G, F, G, C, etc… And then I strum for the chorus. Hope that helps!
Does anyone know the fingerpicking for the intro?
if you play Dbm instead of Db7 it sounds better, but otherwise great chords! Thank you 🙂
in -4 the A7 chord sounds much better if you play it on the string beneath it give it a try 🙂
in +3, Em sounds better than E7 🙂
-4 is the easiest 🙂
Bin xDDDDDDDDDD Not been xDDDDDDD
“D flat minor 7” doesn’t fit in E major. “C sharp minor 7” does however.
The enharmonic is the more correct way of writing this chord out since flats aren’t
considered an E major thing. Sharps are so it’s less confusing.
