[Verse 1]
 
         Em          B7            Em  Em7
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
Am           C6               G    B7
All about a girl who came to stay
          Em                B7               Em       Em7
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Am                 C6           Em
Still you don't regret a single day
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G Bm Am D7      G Bm Am D7
Ah, girl............girl
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        Em                 B7               Em         Em7
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
Am                C6             G     B7
She will turn to me and start to cry
        Em             B7             Em     Em7
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
Am             C6                Em
After all this time I don't know why
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G Bm Am D7      G Bm Am D7
Ah, girl............girl
 
 
[Middle]
 
Am                                  E
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
                                   Am     E
when friends are there, you feel a fool
Am
When you say she's looking good
    E                                Am     C
She acts as if it's understood she's cool
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G Bm Am D7      G Bm Am D7
Ah, girl............girl
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
 
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?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G Bm Am D7      G Bm Am D7
Ah, girl............girl

Also, you can play the lead part with a capo on 8 as well and it makes for a very easy and nice-sounding solo

PJ, this is one of your best sounding tabs yet. A tip for players, I find the chorus easiest to play if you play the Am chord with the middle, ring and pinky fingers, then leave the middle finger where it is when you switch the other two fingers into a D7 chord (pinky on the high e string and ring on the G string). Thanks again!
