                A                G             D          

1. I was working part time in a five-and-dime,

            G                                 - G-A

    my boss was Mr. McGee.

           A                      G                    D                  

    He told me several times that he didn't like my kind,

               G                                 - G-A

    'cause I was a bit 2 leisurely.

       A                         G                D                          

    Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing,

            G                                   G   - A

    but different than the day before.

        A                  G            D      

    That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her,

                       G

    she walked in through the out door, out door.

 

                    A      G          D         G                      D                    A

She wore a raspberry beret, the kind u find in a second hand store,

 A      G         D          G                                           D                A

raspberry beret, and if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more.

   A     G          D               E      A

Raspberry beret, I think I love her.

 

       A                  G           - D                                   

2. Built like she was, uh,        she had the nerve 2 ask me,

            G                                       - G-A

    if I planned 2 do her any harm.              So, look here !  

A                                              G               D            

    I put her on the back of my bike and-a we went riding

                   G                                        - G-A

    down by old man Johnson's farm.

                        A             G               D               

    I said, now, overcast days never turned me on,

           G                                                        G        - A

    but something about the clouds and her mixed,

      A - G             D                                                     G

    Sh.....e wasn't 2 bright, but I could tell when she kissed me,

                                                      - A

    she knew how 2 get her kicks.

Raspberry beret, I think I love her.

 

D                  A                      - D                             A

    The rain sounds so cool          when it hits the barn roof,

D                             A                           - D - A

    and the horses wonder who u are.

         D                     A                                 D      - A

    Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees.

         D               A              - D - A

    u feel like a movie star.

               - G                                      E

    Listen,        they say the first time ain't the greatest,

                        - D                      A                          D     - A

    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                                  E7

    with a girl as fine as she was then.
