Lyrics

(D)I once had a girl, or should I say

(Am7)she once (G)had (D)me.

She showed me her room; is n’t it good (Am7)Nor we (G)gian (D)wood?

She (Dm)asked me to stay and she told me to sit an y (G)where.

So (Dm)I looked a round and I no ticed there was n’t a (Em7)chair.

(D)I

sat on a rug,

bid ing my time,

(Am7)drink ing (G)her (D)wine.

We

talked un til two,

and then she said,

(Am7)β€œIt’s time (G)for (D)bed.”

She (Dm)told me she worked in the morn ing and start ed to (G)laugh.

I (Dm)told her I did n’t and crawled off to sleep in the (Em7)bath.

(D)And

when I a woke,

I was a lone;

(Am7)this bird (G)had (D)flown.

So

I lit a fire;

is n’t it good

(Am7)Nor we (G)gian (D)bed.”
