If I could rate them on a scale from one to ten.
    G                                  C
I'm looking for a nine but eight could work 
 
right in.

four.

I don't mean to criticize the girls, at all.
      G                           C
Cause I'm no Robert Redford, even overhauled.
G   C
But we all picture in our minds a girl that looks 
     F
just right.
     G
Now, ain't it funny, ain't it strange, the way a 
 
man's opinions change, when he starts to face

that lonely night.
