SWEET LITTLE 16 Written and performed by Chuck Berry Tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <[email protected]>

(verses and choruses follow same chord pattern)

Chorus

They're really rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, PA Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little 16

Verse

Sweet Little 16, she's just got to have About a half a million framed autographs Her wallet's filled with pictures; she gets them one by one Becomes so excited; won't you look at her run, boy?

Bridge

"Oh Mommy, Mommy, please may I go? It's such a sight to see; somebody steal the show Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg you Whisper to Mommy it's all right with you"

Chorus

'Cause they'll be rockin' on the bandstand Philadelphia, PA Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little 16

(instrumental, same pattern as verses and choruses)

(chorus 2)

Verse

Sweet Little 16, she's got the grownup blues Tight dresses and lipstick She's sportin' high-heeled shoes Oh, but tomorrow mornin' She'll have to change her trend And be sweet 16 and back in class again
