VERSE 1:
ALumps in my throat when I saw her comin' down the aisle,
I got the Dwiggles in my knees when she looked at me and sweetly Asmiled.
EThere she is again standin' over by the record Amachine,
DYes she's lookin' like a model on the cover of a magaAzine.
EShe's too cute to be a minute over sevenAteen.
BRIDGE I:
Now meanwhile, I was thinkin', (Spoken)
She's in the Dmood, no need'n break it.
I got a Achance, I oughta take it.
If she'll Edance, we can Dmake it.
C'mon Aqueenie, let's shake it.

Notes:
1. This chord TAB makes no pretence to capture George and John's frenetic guitar weaving, call-and-answer
style. As I may transcribe the lead and bass lines, in a separate TAB. As I really like 'The Beatles'
cover version of Chuck Berry's original 'Little Queenie' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyp13Q6dQjY.
2."…The 1998 Copyright Act had recently been passed, and Apple's lawyers were able to prove that the
Star-Club recordings were made while The Beatles were under contract to EMI. In the witness box Harrison
described the tapes as "the crummiest recording ever made in our name, and said that "One drunken person
recording another bunch of drunks does not constitute a business deal."…"
