[Verse 1]
A G D
I was working part time in a five-and-dime,
G D G A
My boss was Mr. McGee.
G D
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind,
G D G A
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely.
G D
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing,
G D G A
But different than the day before.
G D
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
G
She walked in through the out door (out door).
[Chorus]
A G D
She wore a Raspberry beret
G D G A
The kind U find in a second hand store
G D
Raspberry beret
G D A
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
G D
Raspberry beret
E A
I think I love her
[Verse 2]
A G D
Built like she was, uh, she had the nerve 2 ask me
G D G A
If I planned 2 do her any harm
G D
So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike and a we went riding
G D G A
Down by old man Johnson's farm
G D
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
G D G A
But something about the clouds and her mixed
G D
She wasn't 2 bright but I could tell
G
When she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

[Verse 3]
D A D A
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof,
And the horses wonder who U are.
D A D A
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
U feel like a movie star
G F#m E
Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again
G F#m
I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause baby I'm the most,
E
With a girl as fine as she was then.
