  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.

  Intro:

                (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:

   

             Dm                  F                 Bbadd9         F

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

   

           Dm               F                  Bbadd9          F

  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

   

  F             F/A    

  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.
