                     (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]  <- single notes, fuzz organ w/bass
	She looked good, she looked fine
	 [E     B      E      B]         <- 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

	            Whoa-oa, I knew we was fallin' in love
	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
