              INTRO: D7+ E7 Em7 A7 D7+  2X 
                          D7+ 
Her name is Cherry 
     E7  
We've just met 
                    Em7 
But already she knows me 
A7                D7+ 
Better than you 
She understands me 
          E7 
After eighteen years  
                   Em7 
And you still don't see me 
A7                      D7+  
Like you ought to do 
 
Em7                           A7 
Maybe we could talk 'bout things 
D7+ 
If you was made of wood and strings 
Em7                           A7 
While I love her every sound 
D7+ 
I dunno how to turn you down 
Em7                           A7 
You're so thick and my patience thin 
D7+ 
So I got me a knew best friend 
Em7                           A7 
With a pickup that puts you to shame 
D7+ 
And Cherry is her name 
 
(SOLO) 
 
                        D7+ 
And when I'm lonely  
     E7  
Cherry's there 
               Em7 
And she plays along  
A7                     D7+ 
While I sing out my blues 
I could be crying 
    E7  
And you don't care 
                Em7 
You won't call me back 
A7                     D7+ 
You're stubborn as mule 
 
Em7             A7     D7+ 
Maybe we could talk 'bout things 
Em7             A7     D7+ 
If you was made of wood and strings 
Em7             A7     D7+ 
You might think I've gone too far 
Em7             A7     D7+ 
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar
