Girl

 (Em)      (H)                (Em)     (E7) 
Is there anybody going‘ to listen to my story 
(Am)                             (G)     (H) 
All about the girl who came to stay? 
        (Em)               (H)               (Em)        (E7) 
She‘s a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry; 
(Am)                  (C)            (G) 
Still, you don‘t regret a single day. 
         (C) (D)  (G)     (C) (D) 
Ah, girl,     girl! 
 
When I think of all the times I‘ve tried so hard to leave her, 
She will turn to me and start to cry. 
And the promises the earth to me and I believe her, 
After all this time I don‘t know why. 
Ah, girl, girl! 
 
Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasure 
Did she understand it when they said 
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure? 
Will she still believe it when he‘s dead? 
Ah, girl, girl!
