DO WAH DIDDY DIDDY

Manfred Mann

 

[E][E][A][E]

[E] There she was, just-a [A] walkin' down the [E] street, Singin'

[E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

[E] Snappin' her fingers and [A] shufflin' her [E] feet, Singin'

[E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

She looked good (she looked good). She looked fine (she looked fine)

She looked good, she looked fine, and I nearly lost my mind

 

[E] Before I knew it she was [A] walkin' next to [E] me,

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

[E] Holdin' my hand just as [A] natural as can [E] be

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

We walked on (walked on) to my door (to my door)

We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more

 

[E] Whoa-oa, I knew we was fallin' in [C#m] love

Yes I did and so I [A] told her all the things I'd been [B7] dreamin' of

 

Now [E] we're together nearly [A] every single [E] day

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

[E] We're so happy and that's [A] how we're gonna [E] stay

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

Well, I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)

I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

 

[E] Whoa-oa, I knew we was fallin' in [C#m] love

Yes I did and so I [A] told her all the things I'd been [B7] dreamin' of

 

Now [E] we're together nearly [A] every single [E] day

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

[E] We're so happy and that's [A] how we're gonna [E] stay

Singin' [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum, diddy [E] do

Well, I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)

I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

[B7] Whoa... oh, yeah

 

[E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum diddy [E] do

Well, sing it to me, [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum diddy [E] do

Oh, oh yeah, [E] Do wah diddy, diddy [A] dum diddy [E] do

A huge hit for Manfred Mann in 1964. But this song belongs in the "Sixties Girl Groups" genre, having been recorded first by the Exciters.
