Juke Box Music The Kinks
I grew up listening to the Kinks and this has always
been one of my favorite tracks of theirs. Dave Davies
is the unsung hero of this one with the catchy major
scale lead and caterwauling harmony during the final
verse. I tabbed this out by ear on my own so please
forgive any mistakes. Enjoy!

(Verse)
[A]Little lady plays her [G]favorite records on the [D]juke box every [A]day
[A]All day long she plays the [G]same old songs and she be[D]lieves the things that they [A]say
[A]Other ladies like to [G]prance around and flirt and [D]dance the whole night [A]through
She just [A]sits and listens to the [G]juke box records cause that's a[D]ll that she wants to [A]do
(Pre-Chorus)
[D]She sings along with all the [G]saddest songs and she be[D]lieves the stories are [G]real
D G (Riff 1)
She lets the music dictate the way that she feels

(Same chords as verse)
It's all because of that music that we're slowly drifting apart
But it's only there to dance to, so ya shouldn't take it to heart.
Music, only juke box music. Only music, only juke box music.
(Use Main Riff for Outro)
And that's it! Hope you enjoy.
