[Verse 1]
      (*                                                 *     *)
       C                      G                          C     C
Well I walked up to her and I asked her if she wanted to dance
   (*                                                 *      *)
    C                     G                           C      C
She looked awful nice and so I hoped she might take a chance
F                  C              F                   C
  When we danced I held her tight   then I walked her home that night
                                                 *          *
    C                  G                         C          C
And all the stars were shining bright and then I kissed her

[Verse 2]
*                                               *     *
C                     G                         C     C
Each time I saw her I couldn’t wait to see her again
  *                                             *      *
  C                 G                           C      C
I wanted to let her know that I was more than a friend
F                    C          F                    C
  I didn’t know just what to do   and so I whispered I love you
                                              *          *
    C                 G                       C          C
And she said that she loved me too and then I kissed her
 
[Chorus]
  F                            F                     F     F
I kissed her in a way that I’d never kissed a girl before
  D                          D7                      G     G7
I kissed her in a way that I hope she liked for ever more
 
[Verse 3 / Outro in Fade Out]
  *                                                        *     *
  C                           G                            C     C
I knew that she was mine so I gave her all the love that I had
     *                                                   *     *
     C                      G                            C     C
Then one day she’ll take me home to meet her mom and her dad
F                     C           F                     C
  Then I asked her to be my bride   and always be right by my side
                                               *          *
  C                    G                       C          C
I felt so happy that I almost cried and then I kissed her
           *           *             *          *
           C           C             C          C
And then I kissed her     and then I kissed her
