Bye Bye Birdie - How Lovely To Be A Women by Misc Soundtrack

E
When you're a skinny child of fourteen,

Wired with braces from ear to ear,
        F     E/F     F     E7/F   B/C    C   B/C  C
You doubt that you will ever be appealing.
F
Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen

And the braces disappear
 
And your skin is smooth and clear
        F#        F/F#    F#   F7/F#       C9    
And you have that happy grown-up female feeling.

How lovely to be a woman,
                      Em/D    A7/D
The wait was well worth while;
                       Am/D   
How lovely to wear mascara
A7/D                  D
And smile a woman's smile.
          Dsus2       F#m  
How lovely to have a figure,
       G6        G   Bm
That's round instead of flat;
     G    G/D Bb2  Bb/F  D2  D
Whenever you hear boys whistle,
        Em7  A7   Em7  A7  D
You're what they're whistling at.


     Gm7          C  C6  Cmaj 
It's wonderful to feel
         F7       Bb  Bb6   BbMaj7
The way a woman feels;
   Em7       A7        D2 D/A   Em7     A7
It gives you such a glow just to know
   Am6/F#   Am6/C    B7    E7-5    A7
You're wearing lipstick and heels!

          D           
How lovely to be a woman
                   Eb
And have one job to do;
   Em7        A7/E   Am7/E      A7/E 
To pick out a boy and train him
    Em7       F7          Bm   Am                           
And then when you are through,


Gsus                        Bb              D              
You've made him the man you want him to be!
Em7                   A7  Em     A7       D        
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!

Gm7                     C  C6  Cmaj
How wonderful to know
    F7                    Bb  Bb6   BbMaj7
The things a woman knows;
Em7       A7        D2 D/A   Em7     A7
How marvelous to wait for a date
   Am6/F#   Am6/C    B7    E7-5    A7
In simply beautiful clothes!

          D           
How lovely to be a woman
                          Eb
And change from boys to men,
Em7   A7/E       Am7/E      A7/E
To go to a fancy nightclub
Em7           F7    Bm   Am                           
And stay out after ten.
Gsus                    Bb              D              
How lovely to be so grown-up and free!
Em7            A7    Em       A7          D           
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
