Neighbor Boy Chords & Tabs
Okay this is my first submission and it's by ear; the chords are pretty accurate
but I personally don't find that they sound nice strummed. I recommend you
fingerpick the chords in whatever way you like :)
So Basically it's a Capo on 3: and the chords are G, 8-7-0-0-8-8, (relative to the
Capo [this is basically a G moved up {for the sake of this, let's call it GU}])
Cadd9, A/F# those are the chords for the whole song basically.
For the intro:
E-8--------------|
A---------7------|
D----0-----------|
G------------0---|
that's the fingerpicking pattern for the whole song...E string, D string, A string, then G string
with that same fingerpicking you'll play: G CADD9 A/F# and the GU thing again.

Neighbor boy..
So funny and so sweet –
you’re the joy inside my smile, and the confidence behind my beauty.
I saw you standing in the yard -
you saw me standing by the backdoor, waiting for you.
If you only knew,
how much I need you.
A/F# GU
(ooooooh) I will stay forever.

GU
this town in which you’ve grown into a man.

You became my bestfriend.

*(Same chords as the very first verse)*
Neighbor girl..
So come on darling lets get married,
and we’ll live our liver together – across the way.
You’ll be the princess of my castle.
with the flowers for the crown upon – your head.

(ooooooh) I will stay forever.

I will make your town my own,
GU
this town in which you’ve grown into a man.
