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!
