Intro: C G7 G /A G G7 C™ G7 G6 Dm6 Dm'C 3x //C/ /B /A
1.
G™ F C (/C /B /A)
so now let me tell you about this girl of mine
G™ F C
heart like all men™s dreams in the days of 49
F C G F
I turn hollow no me more swallow this fast only she breaks
F C G F
but distance keeps her miles or meters what difference does it make
2.
G™ F C
˜cause here they come again to repossess my dreams
G™ F C
child don™t play yourself things are never what they seem
F C G F
a bridge a river a pale moon sliver city shines so bright
F C G F
but to my despair I wake up where they sleep out every night
Refrain:
C G7 C
the girl I love is oh so far away
G7 C
and I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
3.
G™ F C
oh now the bleating sea she laps upon my door
G™ F C
I™ll round a thousand horns just to drown upon her shore
F C G F
blood red roses go down moses oh billowing sails
F C G F
those so weak-willed guts all sea-filled throw them o™er the rails
4.
G™ F C
boys tighten up the jib and sing a hearty song
G™ F C
we been driftin™ driftin™ for far too long
F C G F
I take no care me I™m so bare-breasted on the bow
F C G F
scabbed and weathered skin of leather who™s the deader now
Refrain:
C G7 C
the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
G7 C
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
G7 C
its so long lady angel I guess I™ll say goodbye
G7 C
but I do believe I™m aging right before your eyes
5.
G™ F C
wash up on her coast not a nickel to my name
G™ F C
sold my sold my sold my gold watch and chain
F C G F
enough to hire a band of lyres to march me on my way
F C G F
through hills and valleys sugar ditch alleys up to her hingeless gate
Refrain:
C G7 C
the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
G7 C
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
G7 C
its so long lady angel I guess I™ll say goodbye
G7 C
but I do believe I™m aging right before your eyes
C G7 C
cock crow in the morning heard it loud and clear
G7 C
I ask her for to marry she answer with a tear
G7 C
boy you have my heart and I know you always will
G7 C
but that ain™t enough to hold me cause love don™t pay the bills
6.
C F C
I turned away in shame for all my days in vain
G C
guess I™ll just drag on no one loves you till you™re gone
F C
let the river be my guide let the desert be my bride
G C
till my heart turns to steel till I no longer feel
Refrain:
C G7 C
that the girl I love is oh so oh so far away
G7 C
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day
G7 C
its so long lady angel I guess I™ll say goodbye
G7 C
but I do believe I™m aging right before your eyes
