		      SWEET LITTLE 16 - Chuck Berry
                      
                      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
