Verse 1:
     D
Papa worked but his check was small
     G
Mama sewed just to help us all
            A7
And our old house sure needed paint
            D
And when it rained the roof would leak

                   D
Well the teacher's pet was Susie Grout
              G
Born with the silver spoon in her mouth
                A7
Miss "Goody Two Shoes" in sorority
           D
And I was "Little Miss Nothin'" and they thought of me as:


Chorus:
D
  The girl most likely   yeah (Yeah)
G
  The girl most likely
        A7
To wind up in a uh-huh jam
            D
They judged by the way I looked, not the way I am


Verse 2:
                  D
Well I guess it's true I looked the part
               G
But developin' fast was not my fault
               A7
Didn't know my sex appeal showed through
                D
Those made over clothes and run down shoes!

                 D
Now the doctor's son is hidin' out
                   G
And the whole town knows what it's all about
            A7
Because the evidence is plain
    D
Ha! It ain't me it's Susie Jane!


Chorus:
D
  The girl most likely   yeah, (Yeah)
G
  The girl most likely
        A7
Susie's daddy is on the run
       D
And he sure looks funny with the hot shot gun!


Verse 3:
                 D
Well the weddin' bells can't wait till June
               G
It'd better be now or else real soon
      A7
Susie Jane is in a jam
    D
Hey listen that gun go wam wam wam!


Outro:
                  D
Well some of that talk is dyin' down
                     G
And there's a lot of most likely's in this town
               D
Just because a house needs a coat of paint
                    D
That doesn't mean a girl is somethin' she ain't  .
