Bette Davis Eyes Lyrics
by Kim Carnes
Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes - transcribed by Gary Chapman
Part of the "tablature you didn't really want but got anyway" series.
The only recording of this song I have is an ancient and in mono. It's
missing the start and the finish. I had trouble deciphering the lyrics.

Verse 1:
Her hair is Harlowe gold (Fig.A) Lips sweet surprise (Fig.B)
Her hands are never cold (Fig.C) She's got Bette Davis eyes
F F/A (Fig.E repeated)
She'll turn the music on you (Fig.C) You won't have to think twice (Fig.D)
She's pure as New York Snow (Fig.C) She got Bette Davis eyes (Fig.G)
Chorus 1:
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you, all the better just to please you.
She's precocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.
B Dm C (Fig.E & F)
She's got Greta Garbo's standard size, she's got Bette Davis Eyes (Fig.C) x 2
Verse 2:
(Fig.E repeated)
She'll let you take her home (Fig.C) Whets her appetite (Fig.B)
She'll lay you on the throne (Fig.C) She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you (Fig.C) Roll you like you were dice (Fig.D)
Until you come up blue (Fig.C) She got Bette Davis eyes
Chorus 2:
She'll expose you when she snows you.
Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you.
She's ferocious and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys used to think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes.
