NOTES:
Standard Tuning; timing is 4/4. On the recording, the vocal carries the melody
and the guitar plays fills; there are no strummed chords so, I've tried to
follow the vocal. If you were singing this, this is how you might accompany
yourself. See what you think...

    D            G                       D  [Fill 1]
Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom
D                       G                     D  [Fill 2]
  We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom
       A                    G
It was no infatuation but a gradual graduation
       D                    Gm
From a boy to a man, let me tell you while I can
    Bm            G
The soda pop came free


VERSE:
Hey Sis, one kiss, and I was heaven bound
Now who would have guessed Milton's "Paradise Lost" could be found
But in the eyes of the Dean, his daughter
Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta
But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
The consequence should be:
       D                        G                      D [Fill 1] [Fill 2]
Church bells, three swells: the Dean, his daughter and me

They were dating in the park,
          Bm                         Em
They were smooching in the dark of a doorway for two
    Bm
She whispered "I love you..."
E                                     A
Ooh, you know I never felt this way before

Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart
         Bm    A     G     Dm
Has gone awol, awol, awol, awol"
           F
And then I kissed her...
           G
And when I kissed her...
       D                           A
It's a wonderful world when you're rolling in kisses
