---These are the chords John uses in his new single, Paper Doll. John is mostly
just riffing on the chords throughout, giving it that Mayer-y feel. Tuning is
standard, no capo. Hope you guys are blessed by this!---
(Intro)
G, repeated throughout. It sounds to me as though John is riffing on the B string
as follows: 12--s10--s8 (or high E 7--s5--s3)and then heads to a G chord like
3x543x while hammering the g string from the 5 fret to the fourth.
(Same as intro)
Paper doll, come try it on
Step out of that black chiffon
Here’s a dress of gold and blue
Sure was fun being good to you
G, Em, C
This one we made just for Fall
And Winter runs a bit too small
This mint green is new for Spring
My love didn’t cost a thing
Chorus
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_mayer/paper_doll_crd_ver_3.html ]
Em C D
You’re like twenty-two girls in one
Em C D
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Em C
Was it just too far to fall?
D G
For a little paper doll
Verse
G throughout
Fold a scarf, Moroccan red
And tie your hair behind your head
Strap into some heels that hurt
You should’ve kept my undershirt
Chorus
Interlude G, C, D, Em
Verse
G throughout
Cut the cord and pull some strings
And make yourself some angel wings
And if those angel wings don’t fly
Em C D
Someone’s gonna paint you another sky
Chorus
‘Cause you’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall? (x2)
