There has been some debate over whether the progression is D-G-A or D-A-G  and 
the truth is that it's *both*.  Listen closely and follow along... 

** GUITAR ** 

INTRO (and successive vamps/fills--listen to it for the strum pattern):

Verse: 

D           A         G                  A 
I leave from softball practice every night 
D            G              A              G            D 
It's getting dark, but the "Golden Arches" light up the way 
           A             G            A 
I turn the corner at the traffic light 
D          G              A               G            Bm 
I count my money and then I rehearse what I'm going to say 
                              Bm                            Bm 
        "I'd like an order of fries, a Quarter Pounder with cheese, 
                                 G                 A 
        I love the light in your eyes, will you go out with me please?" 

Dan's Note: Stephen had noted an Em in the Pre-Chorus above, but it ain't 
there--the bass that does a descending line which makes it sound like the 
guitar is moving too, but Ed stays on Bm the whole time. 



[Refrão]
D       A           G              A 
I am in love with a McDonald's girl 
D         G        A            G 
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm 
D       A           G              A 
I am in love with a McDonald's girl 
D         G          A         G       D  G  A 
She is an angel in a polyester uniform 

("Can I get you some fries with that?") 

She doesn't try to impress anyone 
She doesn't act real tough like all the other girls that I know 
She don't treat me like a simpleton 
She's not ashamed to be the only other virgin I know 
        When my hamburger's cold, I get up ready to go, 
        She's only fifteen years old, and I'm in love with her soul 

(Steve Page Rap Solo) 
She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore 
She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door...BOY! 

Chorus 

There she stands behind the register 
She's taking orders from the Saddle River Little League 
If they knew how much I wanted her 
Their home-room teachers would have to send them home for a week 
        As I head through the door, the movement catches her eye, 
        My heart begins to soar, she smiles, she waves good-bye, good-bye 
        Good-bye, good byeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

Chorus 

Uno, dos, tres, quatro 
Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries 
Icey Coke, Thick Shakes, Sundaes and Apple Pies 
Sing that song of taste (yeah, sing that song of taste, G!) 
You can only find at one place: McDonald's! 

Chorus and end 





** BASS ** 

The recording is muffled so this may not be exact, but it will get you through. 
This is just the basics--no grace notes, no precise rhythms--but I will try to 
get the spacing right so you know when each note is played.
