Tonya's Twirls easy guitar chords by

N/A
Verse 1
D

Let give you some relief

and sing about somebody else for

a change.

And she's a woman.

Man, what a woman.

Always in the news.

Always happening.

And of course, now that it's

Winter Olympics time,

I can't help but...

No, not that.

God bless Tonya Harding.

Did anybody see

her on The Weakest Link?

Was that incredible?

With Kato Kaelin and Jennifer Flowers.

Oh my God, I died and went to heaven.

And recently,

just this week or last week

or a few days ago,

she's getting sued by her landlord

for back rent.

She's so happening, man.

She is en courant, man.

She is so happening.

A perennial.

You know, I got a day off to

morrow.

I think I'm going up to Portland

and I'm going to stalk Tanya.

You knew she

was in trouble
Em

when you saw her bodyguard,
Em
G

when you saw those two together.
D
A
D

You knew it wasn't hard to see

that she was different,
Em

not just one of the girls.
G

With their gliding and their sliding
A
D

and their pirouettes and twirls

Then it turned out that

she smoked and drank
Em
Esus4

and posed practically nude
E
Em
G

An d she didn't smile all of the time
D
A

She got angry and was crude
D

No, she wasn't good at two -skates
E
Em
E
Em
E

like all the other girls
Em
G

With their grinning and their spinning
A
D

and their winning little twirls

And her childhood was unhappy,
Em

and her mom was really weird.
G

Her husband liked to hit her,
D
A

but it was poverty she feared.
D

Cause she grew up in the trailer parks,
E
Esus4
E

not like most other girls.
Em
G

With their gliding and their sliding
A
D

and their whirling little twirls,
E
Em
G
D
A

yeah.
D


Yes, they all look like princesses,
Bm
Em

little Barbies to the core,
G

but she was your parents'

worst nightmare,
D
A
D

the slut who moved next door.
Em

From the wrong side of the track,


she liked the boys more than the girls,
G

with their gliding and they're sliding
A

in their girlish dainty twirls
D

and it seemed like she was lying
E
D
Esus4
E
Em

about what she did n't know
G

and then she started crying
D
G
D
A

in the media sideshow
D

and in practice she kept falling down
Em
E
Esus4
Em

more than the other girls
G

but they're gliding and they're sliding
A
D

in their picture -perfect twirls

and they almost towed her truck away
E
Em

oh, the whole thing was a drag
G

forget about Campbell's soup

and Reebok,
D
A
D

Wheaties are the flag,
Em

they'll be books she'll make some money,
E
Em

that's what they're after all these girls
G

with their selling kiss and telling
A
D

and their twisting little twirls
Em
D
Bm
G
D
A
D

Verse 2

So play the national anthem.
E
Em

Stand up proud and tall.
G

Oh, we hope that ours don't stumble
D
A

and that theirs slip and fall.
D

And remember Olga Corbett.
E
Em

What happens to these girls
G

with their triple flips and axles
A
D

and their somersaults and twirls?

Ice used to be a nice thing
E
Em

when you laced up figure skates.
G

Now it's a thing to win a medal on
D
A

for the United States.
D

But once there were no lutses, axles,
E
Em

pirouettes, or twirls.
G

Just kiddies slipping, sliding, laughing,
A
D

happy little girls.

Thank you. You You

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
