INTRO: (Here's that signature riff throughout the song) E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-5--3-5p3h5--3-5-3-0------0--5--3-5p3h5--3-5-3-0------0--| E|---------------------1--3------------------------1--3----| VERSE 1: (Just repeat that signature riff) I wanna girl with a mind like a diamond I wanna girl who knows what's best I wanna girl with shoes that cut, and Eyes that burn like cigarettes. VERSE 2: (Now play these chords with slight overdrive) I wanna girl with the right allocations. Who's fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack. She's playing with her jewelry, she's putting up her hair, She's touring the facility, and picking up slack. I wanna girl with a short skirt, and a loooooong jacket!

VERSE 6: (Play like verse 2, and 4) She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest She wants a car that will get her there She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen She's trading her MG for a white Chrystler Laberan I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket.
