E     B                C#m              A
  Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay


      E               B
Your lipstick stains
                        C#m              A
on the front lobe of my left side brains
                      E
I knew I wouldn't forget you
                   B              C#m   A  B
And so I went and let you blow my mind
       E           B
Your sweet moonbeam the smell of you
          C#m             A
In every single dream I dream
                   E
I knew when we collided you're the one
          B                    C#m   A  B
I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister ain't that Mister
 E     B       A
Mister on the radio stereo

Tonight hey-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay-ay


 E          B
Just in time I'm so glad
           C#m                  A
You have a one track mind like me
                    E
You gave my life direction a game show
         B                  C#m  A  B
Love connection we can't deny
     E         B
I'm so obsessed my heart is bound to beat
      C#m                A
Right out my untrimmed chest
              E
I believe in you like a virgin
        B                           C#m
You're Madonna and I'm always gonna wanna
           A    B
Blow your mind

The way you move ain't fair you know
 A              B                E
Hey soul sister I don't want to miss

   E
The way you can cut a rug
 B
Watching you's the only drug
   C#m
I need so gangster I'm so thug
           A                            E
You're the only one I'm dreaming of you see
                          B
I can be myself now finally
                                C#m
In fact there's nothing I can't be
                            A        B
I want the world to see you be with me
