[Intro]
C F G
[Verse]
C F G
There was a girl, there was a girl that I'd remember
C F G
and when she smiled, she smiled a smile that made me better
C F G
she post my bail, she post my bail with her last nickel
C F G
and when she cried, and when she cried, i died a little
[Chorus]
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
[Verse]
C F G
She had a way, she had a way to light the darkness
C F G
she'd walk with me, she'd walk with me and killed the sadness
C F G
she took me in, she took me in and gave me shelter
C F G
she had no doubt, she had no doubt about me with her
[Chorus]
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
[Verse]
C F G
She's just a girl, she's just a girl that started a story
C F G
of her ragged man, her ragged man and his bygone glory
C F G
she went away, she went to the long forgotten
C F G
she went away
[Chorus]
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
C Am F G
There was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl, there was a girl
