Good job! Except: D B7 Ain't got no skirts, Ain't got no sweater B7 should be Bm. and: G D Got my eyes, Got my nose, Got my mouth, D should be Bm. I love to sing and play this one, except because I am male I take the liberty in changing some of the words, instead of 'skirts' and 'boobies' I sing 'shirts' and 'balls'. LOL

Excellently tabbed classic

[tab] Em Bm Em Bm I got my arms, got my hands, got my fingers, got my legs, Em Bm Am D got my feet, got my toes,[/tab] Should be: [tab] Em G Em G I got my arms, got my hands, got my fingers, got my legs, Em G Am D got my feet, got my toes,[/tab]
