Bette Davis Eyes — Kim Carnes — transcribed by Gary Chapman
=============================
Part of the «tablature you didn’t really want but got anyway» series.
The only recording of this song I have is an ancient and in mono. It’s
Missing the start and the finish. I had trouble deciphering the lyrics.

She’s precocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.

She’ll take a tumble on you (Fig.C) Roll you like you were dice (Fig.D)
Until you come up blue (Fig.C) She got Bette Davis eyes
Chorus 2:
She’ll expose you when she snows you.
Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you.
She’s ferocious and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys used to think she’s a spy, she’s got Bette Davis eyes.
