Sweet young thing of sixteen
A7 / / / | / / / /
Thought I'd step out one night
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
I longed to get the thrill in life i've missed
F / / / | Cdim / / /
I met a youth
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
A little bit uncouth
D7 / / / | / / / /
Although he seemed alright
G7 / / / | / / / /
I knew him by the moment when we kissed
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
Then I got home, next day with a swollen head
D7 / / / | / / / / | G7 / / / | / / / /
My girlfriend asked if i'd had fun I said,

"was I drunk? was he handsome?
A7 / / / | / / / /
Did momma give me hell?
Dm / / / | A7 / / / | Dm / A7 / | Dm / / /
Did I get a thrill? Am I full of quiver?
F / / / | Cdim / / /
Was he rough? Did I care?
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
Am I glad I fell?
D7 / / / | / / / / | G7 / / / | / / / /
Every time I think of him, do I shiver?
C / / / | E7 / / /
Was he hot? And was I?
A7 / / / | / / / /
And would he stand for maybe?
Dm / / / | A7 / / /
He would not? Did I lie?
G7 / / / | / / / /
Does he still think i'm a baby?
F / / / | Cdim / / /
If I was, am I still?
C / B Bb | A7 / / /
Do I care? No, Don't be silly
D7 / / / | / / / /
Was I drunk? Was he handsome?
G7 / / / | C / / /
And did momma give me hell?
Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
Did momma give me hell?
With his hands loose as no refusin'
Did he fight?
Was I blue?
Almost shamed to tell
And I don't know yet the system he was usin'
Well I said, stop, please, behave!
Well what's the use of breathin'?
He said, give
So I gave
After all, what was I savin'?
Am I glad?
Holy gee,
Have I had fun, you're askin' me?
Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
And did momma give me hell?"
