Big Girls Don't Cry

Tabbed By:  Z

Comments:  My first submission was missing a couple minor but necessary changes.  This
my first submission to any tab site.  This tab / chord chart is an evolution of the one
by Manilette Ann P. Fernandez "Maan".  I think that one was in the right nieghborhood
the chords were in the wrong spot and I don't hear an A minor chord anywhere.  These are
chords I hear and voicings where I could figure them out.
Not a difficult song, but listen carefully for the strumming patterns to be accurate.
do fine with this chart playing solo acoustic guitar with a vocal on top.
Good luck.  Any comments / feedback send to:   *

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Your probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself instead of calamity

Chorus:
C9               G            D
I hope you know, I hope you know
D
That this has nothing to do with you
C9               G           D
It's personal, Myself and I
                       Em7                   C9
We've got some straightenin' out to do
                     G                                         D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                            Em7
But I've got to get a move on with my life
C9              G             D (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now
(Mute)
And big girls don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay


(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 3:
G                              G/F#
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
C9
We'll play jacks and uno cards
G             G/F#               C9
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
C9
Valentine
G                 G/F#                    C9
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
                              C9
'Cause I want to hold yours too
 G         G/F#                           C9
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
D        G                      C9
But it's time for me to go home
G/F#
It's getting late, dark outside
C9
I need to be with myself instead of calamity
C9
Peace, Serenity
