80S Ladies

C       Dm           F
We were three little girls from 
school
C               F       C       
One was pretty, one was smart 
                       G
and one was a borderline fool
C          Dm                    
Well she's still good lookin', 
   F
that woman hasn't slipped a bit
    C                           
The smart one used her head, she 
 F        C           G
made her fortune and me, I cross the
 border every chance I get

[Chorus]
            C                 
We were the girls of the 50's, 
           F
la-la, la-la
F
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
   C                               
And more than our names got changed
        Am              F
 as the 70's slipped on by
          G                        
Now we're 80's ladies, there ain't 
                             C
been much these ladies ain't tried

[Verse 2]
           C               
We've been educated, we got 
 Dm                F
liberated and had complicating 
matters with men

          C                    
Oh, we've said "I do" and we've 
 F         C                C    
signed "I don't" and we've sworn 
                    G
we'd never do that again
       C                      
Oh, we burned our bras, and we 
 Dm                        F
burned our dinners and we burned our
 candles at both ends
          C                     F 
And we've had some children who 
        C        G
look just like the way we did back 
then
