Verse 1:
(N.C.)
I met her at the movies, she was there on her own
D G* A* D (all arpeggiated)
A bargain matinee
(N.C.)
Theater deserted, she sat right next to me
D G* A* D (all arpeggiated)
Can't remember what played that day
Pre-chorus:
G
She leans, real near
She whispers in my ear
Em
I blink, she grins
Choke on my M&M's
C
The lights went down
That lion roared
D
Donna got down on the floor
Chorus:
G C G
I'm losing my mind, but I don't care
Em D C
I see Donna everywhere
G C G
Down by the lakeside, in a lawn chair
Em D C G
Donna, Donna everywhere
Verse 2:
She agreed to move in but my dog made her sneeze
So I gave the dog away
Should've kept the dog, given her to my friend
Cause he took her anyway
Pre-chorus:
Those lips, those eyes
that tattoo on her thigh
White teeth, red hair
She hated underwear
Is this real
or in my head?
Donna's dancing on my bed
[Chorus] (x2)
Bass solo over intro (guitar arpeggiated this time)
[Chorus] (x2)
Donna, Donna everywhere...etc.
