                          "Do Wah Diddy Diddy"
                     (Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich)

[Intro]
        E        A  E/B [N.C.]
        / / / /  / / / /

[Verse 1]
        [1, 4: N.C on first line]
         E                     A                E/B
        There she was, just-a walkin' down the street
                 E                    A         E/B
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)
         E                         A            E/B
        Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet
                 E                    A         E/B
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)

        [N.C.]
        She looked good (she looked good)
        She looked fine (she looked fine)
                              [E     B]  &lt;- single notes, fuzz organ w/bass
        She looked good, she looked fine
         [E     B      E      B]         &lt;- single notes, fuzz organ w/bass
        And I nearly lost my mind

[Verse 2]
        Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)
        Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)

        We walked on (walked on)
        To my door (to my door)
        We walked on to my door
        Then we kissed a little more

        A [fill 2]                      B7
                    Yes I did and so I told her all the things I'd been
                        dreamin' of

[Verse 3]
        Now we're together nearly every single day
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)
        We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay
        Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)

        Well, I'm hers (I'm hers)
        She's mine (she's mine)
        I'm hers, she's mine
        Wedding bells are gonna chime
