      C            Em                 F                 C
Well, gentlemen prefer blondes, but I guess I'm just a cad
       G7            C           G7
'cause I just prefer women, they keep my head a-swimming
           C                   Em               F                       C
If they're blonde, brunette or redhead, I don't care, 'cause that ain't bad
G7                        C        C7
Any gal can send my heart spinning
 
Chorus 1
  F                               C
I saw a gal the other day, looked like a movie star
  D7                                             G7
I don't know if she's blonde or not 'cause I was looking from the ground and never got that far
C            Em                  F                   C
Gentlemen prefer blondes and I'm sure that they will do

But I just love all the gals
 
Verse 2
      C            Em                   F              C
Well, gentlemen prefer blondes, but I'm not the choosy kind
    G7                     C           G7
No, I'm not passing up any redhead, no one can call me deadhead
         C               Em             F               C
'cause a gal can keep me company if she rolls a pair of eyes
  G7                             C    C7
I saw a cute one, this is what I said
 
Chorus 2
      F                                  C
"Come over here, you big brunette, I can see you're just my kind
    D7                                     G7
I'm sure that if you kiss me once, I won't see no hair, I'll be stone-blind"
C            Em                   F              C
Gentlemen prefer blondes, but I'm not the choosy kind
       G7                      C
'cause I'm just wild about the gals

I know about a last resort to soothe my broken pride
     D7                                G7
I'll go down to the drugstore and I'll buy some hydrogen peroxide
C            Em                   F              C
Gentlemen prefer blondes, but I'm not the choosy kind
