[Intro]
 
G D/F#  Em  Gmaj7  C  C/B  Am7  Am7/D
 
G     D/F#           Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name
          C        C/B          Am7  Am7/D
A not so very ordinary girl or name
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
             G      D/F# Em        Emmaj9
But who's to blame           for a love
       Gmaj7   Em/C#  Cmaj7
That wouldn't bloom
                          Em7              Em9/G
For the hearts that never played in tune
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am7           G/B         C            G/B
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Am7           G/B                  C              Em/C#
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing
Em7 Dsus4  D
 
 
[Intro Repeat]
 
G     D/F#           Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name
               C                C/B             Am7  Am7/D
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
              G      D/F# Em        Emmaj9     Gmaj7  Em/C#
But where was June?           No it ne.....ver came around
Cmaj7                    Em7            Em9/G
     If it did, it never made a sound
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am7         G/B           C             G/B
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Am7              G/B                C             Em/C#  Dsus4  D
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     B              Em7
And God, I miss the girl
        G7                             C
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Cm                    G
Closer to her than to me
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D/F# Em Gmaj7 C  C/B  Am7   Am7/D
 
 
[Intro Repeat]
 
G     D/F#           Em   Gmaj7/D
  And Aubrey was her name
        C              C/B                Am7  Am7/D
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
            G     D/F# Em             Emmaj9            Gmaj7   Em/C#
I loved her name.         Wished that I             had found a way
Cmaj7                                     Em7   Em9/G
      And the reasons that would make her stay
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am7               G/B         C                  G/B
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
Am7                 G/B              C              Em/C#  Dsus4  D
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
    B              Em7
Oh, how I miss the girl
        G7                            C
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Cm                      G
She had been mine for a day.
