I wanted to play this song like they do live, in a lot of their acoustic bar 
performances. It's a little loose on structure but very similar to Version 2, 
which is played in C. Didn't feel like hitting transpose button every time.

Capo 3
Standard tuning

Intro/verse picking pattern (Like i said this part is free-styled a little bit, 
but within the chords. You can definitely ad-lib.

She handed me 

             
a beer with a 

         
kangaroo


             
She spoke of p

ver been
              
That she had t


raveled to
             
And we slowed 

             
danced along t

Interlude(Picking ends here and strumming starts): 
      

             
So later on th

  
e crowd calmed

 down
             
And I believe 

   
it was as if
             
Something drew

             
 me closer to 

         
her lips


             
So picture my 

             
surprise when 

             
I had tried to

         
 lean in for a

 kiss
             
And she just s

             
miled and turn

              
ed her head do

      
wn


   
I asked her, "

Why?" and she 

replied,
             
"It was nothin

              
g I was doing 

             
wrong, its jus

           
t what it is"
             
No, classy gir

             
ls don't kiss 

              
in bars like t

   
his


             
No, classy gir

         
ls don't kiss 

in bars
             
Boys will brea

         
k their backs 

and hearts
             
But its alrigh

             
t, the hardest

             
 part is throu

      
gh


              
Oh it's throug

Oh it's throug
