"THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH"
Performed by: Shania Twain
Written by: Twain/Lang
CD: COME ON OVER
Copyright 1997 Mercury Records
I believe the song is actually performed in Bbm, but since I don't own a
capo, I simply tuned my guitar up one half step. If you choose to use
one, these same chord 'shapes' apply but all of the single-note stuff
(leads) must be adjusted accordingly (one fret higher).

(Verse 1)
Am F C G
I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
Am F C G
But you've got being right down to an art
Am F C G

Am F C G

(Bridge)
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something special
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else.
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
(Chorus)
F C G Am
That don't impress me much
F C G Am
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
F C G Am
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
F C G G
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
(Repeat intro)
(Verse 2)
Am F C G
I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
Am F C G
And a comb up his sleeve - just in case
Am F C G
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
Am F C G
'Cause heaven forbid it should fall out of place
(Bridge)
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
(Chorus)
F C G Am
That don't impress me much
F C G Am
So you've got the looks but have you got the touch
F C G Am
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
F C G G
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
(Chords for guitar solo are the same as the verses)

Am F C G
You're one of those guys that like to shine his machine
Am F C G
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
Am F C G
I can't believe you kiss your car at night
Am F C G
C'mon baby tell me - you must be jokin', right?
(Bridge)
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something special
D A G
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you've got a car
(Chorus)
F C G Am
That don't impress me much
F C G Am
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
F C G Am
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
F C G Am
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
F C G Am
That don't impress me much
F C G Am
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
F C G Am
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
F C G
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much
(repeat intro)
Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something...
Whatever
That don't impress me much
Am F C G Am F C G (Ends on a G)
