Bette Davis Eyes

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes - transcribed by Gary Chapman

=============================

Part of the "tablature you didn't really want but got anyway" series.

The only recording of this song I have is an ancient and in mono. It's

missing the start and the finish. I had trouble deciphering the lyrics.

(Fig.F)

Fig.A Fig.C Fig.A Fig.C

Verse 1:

Her hair is Harlowe gold (Fig.A) Lips sweet surprise (Fig.B)

Her hands are never cold (Fig.C) She's got Bette Davis eyes

F F/A (Fig.E repeated)

She'll turn the music on you (Fig.C) You won't have to think twice (Fig.D)

She's pure as New York Snow (Fig.C) She got Bette Davis eyes (Fig.G)

Chorus 1:

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you, all the better just to please you.

She's precocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.

B Dm C (Fig.E & F)

She's got Greta Garbo's standard size, she's got Bette Davis Eyes (Fig.C) x 2

Verse 2:

(Fig.E repeated)

She'll let you take her home (Fig.C) Whets her appetite (Fig.B)

She'll lay you on the throne (Fig.C) She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you (Fig.C) Roll you like you were dice (Fig.D)

Until you come up blue (Fig.C) She got Bette Davis eyes

Chorus 2:

She'll expose you when she snows you.

Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you.

She's ferocious and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush

All the boys used to think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes.
