She Might Have Been A Nice Girl
The Guess Who
[Verse 1] She might have been a nice girl Gsus4/A If she hadn’t had a draggy mother She might have been a good chick Gsus4/A If she hadn’t had a rotten father She might have played the right hunch Gsus4/A If she hadn’t been so narrow-minded She might have had a whole bunch Gsus4/A If she hadn’t been so far behind it [Chorus] Oh does it hurt when you know You can’t play it the way that your beau knows Oh does it hurt when you know You can’t say it the way that your beau knows And you know that that’s the way that the show goes And you know it really has to go on [Verse 2] She drank the army’s red wine Gsus4/A But she never found a moment’s pleasure She smelled the salty sea brine Gsus4/A But she never found the buried treasure She might have played the chords right Gsus4/A But the song was never meant for singing She might have really broke loose Gsus4/A But she never made it past the clinging [Chorus] I can see that it hurts when you know You can’t play it the way that your beau knows I can see that it hurts when you know You can’t say it the way that your beau knows And you know that that’s the way that the show goes And you know it really has to go on [Fade] G Gsus4/A
