Song: She Ain't Pretty (she just looks that way)
By:   The Northern Pikes

[intro:] {guitar}        [ A | A  D | A | E  A |
         {band kicks in} [ A | A  D | A | E  A |
 [verse: 1]
A                           A   D
I had two jobs I had dishwater hands
A                        E           A
And on the weekend in a rock & roll band
A                            A   D
One Friday night in my hometown bar
A                                   E     A
In walked a girl who looked like a movie star
D                           E         A
She stared at me and it was turning me on
D                        F#m     B 
She said she worked in a beauty salon
A                       A  D
I heard a voice inside me say
A {muffle}                        
She ain't pretty she just looks that way

[solo: piano]  2 X  [ A | A  D | A | E  A |

[verse: 2]
A                        A   D
We made a date to go for a drink
A                    E          A  
I wore my jeans and she wore a mink
A                                 A    D
There was this misconception all over town
     A                  E            A
That she ate lonely guy heart by the pound
         D                   E           A
She said "Take me home there won't be no fuss"
D                         F#m             B
I said "Sure you got some change for the bus"
A                                    A     D
Watching her leave, I heard the bartender say
A {let ring}
"She ain't pretty she just looks that way"

| D | E  A | D |  F#m  B | 
[ A | A  D | A | E  A | {let ring}

  
[verse: 3] {percussions only}
I called her up her father was home
Said "She's busy she can't come to the phone"
I held my breath, decided to wait
                       E       A
A guy like me doesn't get many dates
D                     E          A
I fell in love with a model from hell
D                        F#m          B
It took some time for my hormones to tell
A                             A    D
That chasing her has been a grave mistake
A {let ring}
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
D                      E         A
Her ego wrote cheques incredibly fast
D                    F#m      B
But her personality didn't have the cash
A                           A    D
I laughed out loud to my total dismay
A {let ring}                               A A A  {three punches}
She ain't pretty she just looks that way

[coda:]
A 
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
A            |  A  G |
She ain't pretty
A            |  A  G |
She ain't pretty
| F#m  D |  C   G |
A                                        A A A {three punches} 
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
