C       Dm           F        
We were three little girls from school
C               F       C                              G
One was pretty, one was smart and one was a borderline fool
C          Dm                       F 
Well she's still good lookin', that woman hasn't slipped a bit
    C                            F        C           G  
The smart one used her head, she made her fortune and me, I cross the border every chance I get

[Chorus]
            C                            F 
We were the girls of the 50's, la-la, la-la
F
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
   C                                       Am              F  
And more than our names got changed as the 70's slipped on by
          G                                                     C
Now we're 80's ladies, there ain't been much these ladies ain't tried

[Verse 2]
           C                Dm                F
We've been educated, we got liberated and had complicating matters with men
          C                     F         C                C                        G 
Oh, we've said "I do" and we've signed "I don't" and we've sworn we'd never do that again
       C                       Dm                        F 
Oh, we burned our bras, and we burned our dinners and we burned our candles at both ends
          C                     F         C        G
And we've had some children who look just like the way we did back then

[Bridge]
              Am G         F    Am G
Oh, but we're all grown up now, all grown up,
F                               G
None of us could tell you quite how
