If I were to walk to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
C G
Well, first I'd go to the room where they keep the Cezanne
C G
But if I had by my side a girlfriend
C G
Then I could look through the paintings
C G
I could look right through them
G C D
Because I'd have found something that I understand
G C G
I understand a girlfriend.
G C
That's a girl friend
G D C
That's a G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
G
That's a girlfriend, baby
C D G
That's something that I understand
Alright
C D G
I walk through the Fenway, I have my heart in my hands
G C G
I understand a girlfriend
G C
That's a girl friend
G D C
Said G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
G
That's a girlfriend, baby
C D G
That's something that I understand

Easy enough right? The solo is actually longer than what i tabbed but i got bored about
through.
The rest is just variations of the same notes and you can improvise.
