Ani DiFranco – Not A Pretty Girl (Ukulele)

Tabbed by Sam Stewart [Intro] F#m A D E x2

                F#m
I am not a pretty girl

A             D                          E
                  that is not what I do

               F#m                  A
I ain't no damsel in distress

                   D                     E
and I don't need to be rescued

                  F#m           A
so put me down punk

                       D                    E
wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair

B                                                 D
   isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled every time I say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear and imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling and I am sorry I am not a maiden fair and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere [Solo] F#m A D E x2 and generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead working for the man and generally I agree with them trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan and I have earned my disillusionment I have been working all of my life and I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight and what if there are no damsels in distress what if I knew that and I called your bluff? don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up I am not a pretty girl I don't want to be a pretty girl no, I want to be more than a pretty girl
