  SWEET LITTLE 16

  written and performed by Chuck Berry

  tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <roxtar@srv.net>

  

  (verses and choruses follow same chord pattern)

  

  CHORUS 1:

                            G       G7             C

  They're really rockin' in Boston,   Pittsburgh, PA

                       G     G7                     C

  Deep in the heart of Texas   and round the Frisco Bay

               F                        C

  All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans

                     G          G7              C

  All the cats wanna dance with   Sweet Little 16

  

  Verse 1:

  Sweet Little 16, she's just got to have

  About a half a million framed autographs

  Her wallet's filled with pictures; she gets them one by one

  Becomes so excited; won't you look at her run, boy?

  

  Bridge:

             F                   C

  "Oh Mommy, Mommy, please may I go?

                       G    G7

  It's such a sight to see;   somebody steal the show

            F            C

  Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg you

             G     G7

  Whisper to Mommy   it's all right with you"

  

  CHORUS 2:

  'Cause they'll be rockin' on the bandstand

  Philadelphia, PA

  Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay

  All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans

  All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little 16

  

  (instrumental, same pattern as verses and choruses)

  

  (chorus 2)

  

  Verse 2:

  Sweet Little 16, she's got the grownup blues

  Tight dresses and lipstick

  She's sportin' high-heeled shoes

  Oh, but tomorrow mornin'

  She'll have to change her trend

  And be sweet 16 and back in class again

  

  (chorus 1, with first line "But they'll be rockin' in Boston)
