She's Only 18 Chords & Tabs
This is one of my favourites from Stadium Arcadium, and isnt to hard to play either
the solo!). If you have a wah pedal, it may come in handy for the verses, but it still
good without. Enjoy!

She’s only 18
Don't like the Rolling Stones
She took the shortcut
To being fully grown
She got the mood ring
A little sister rose
A smell of Springsteen
A pair of pantyhoes

This talking picture show
Is leaking from a silhouette
She said my man you know
It's time to get your fingers wet

You hustle's busted when
You can't afford a cigarette
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "Handle It!"

Knock the world

Right of its feet and

Straight unto its head
C5 Eb5
Oompala

They’re only laughing after
F5
You are dead
C5 Eb5
Fascinated
G5
By the look of you
F5
And what was said
C5 Eb5
Make a play
Eb7
For all the brightest minds
D
And light will shed

I heard some P-Funk
Out on the road again
To get your head shrunk
Is what I recommend
It's in your bloodline
A perfect Frankenstein
Out on the lone kind
I'm gonna make you mine

It's understood you wrap your
Voodoo right around my neck
You got some glitter on your
Kitty at the discotheque

I'll put my loving in your oven
Not a head to check
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "Resurrect!"
