[G] [C] [F] [Bb] Ooooooooh, [Eb] ooooooooh, ooooooooh
[G] I fell [C] in love with [F] this dream [Bb] man
Who played [C] guitar in [Dm] a rock and roll band
[G] And [C] every night [A] I'd watch them [Bb] play
[A] But it happened [D] at the matinee
[G] Oh, I squirmed when he bent those strings [C] And I screamed when he started to sing
The way you move and look so [Eb] groovy Well, you know, [C] he did something to me
[G] [C] String Band, [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] String Band, String Band
[G] So [C] I followed [A] the [Gm] string band [Bb] Who [C] played guitar [Dm] in a string [G] band
And [C] every night [A] I watched [G] them [Bb] play And [A] they got [D] better every [G] day
Pretty soon, and what [Eb] do you [C] think?
Everybody's saying they're the biggest [Ab] [F] thing
Hitting on girls and making songs [Eb] Sexy pictures in [F] the fan
[A] [G] magazines

band [Bb] He [G] always called [Dm] me his biggest [G] fan
Though [Gm] he was [C] kind, I should have known [F] [Bb] better Than to [A] think [D] we'd always stay together
[G] And then one night [E] the show was [G] wild and [C] loud I saw a pretty girl out in the [Cm] crowd
She waved at him [Am] and caught [Eb] his eye The way he looked at [F] her, it made me cry
