[Verse]
 
(standard chords)
 
 
G               Gmaj7            C
City girls just seem to find out early
Am                            D
How to open doors with just a smile
  G                Gmaj7             C
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
Am                     C              G
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
