 INTRO C C9 F C
 
                   C               C9 
 I thought I knew, the girl so well
 F                  C           
 if she was sad, I couldn't tell
                                  C9   
 I missed the point, I missed the sings
 F                           C       
  so if she's gone, the fault is mine
    Dm                                      C 
 I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
        Dm                                    C 
 and even though, I could face them one by one
                   G7sus 
 she would still be gone
 
 Chorus
 G7                C 
  Her eyes are blue
                 C/E 
 her hair is long
           F 
 sixty four
           C/G 
 she was born
       G        C 
 in Batton rouge
              C/E 
 the very song
              F 
 is in my life
               C/G       G Am 
 I meorized her ev'ry move
                 C/G                   Fmaj7 
 I knew her books, her car, her clothes
 C C/E F C/G G 
    
          Csus                                 
 but I paid, no attention to what mattered most
 
 Verse 2
 I never asked, she never said
 And when she cried I turned my head
 She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
 That made them easy to ignore
 And I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
 Now all I have to show
 Or would she walk out the door?
 The cold facts and nothin' more
 
 Chorus
 
 Chorus 2
 Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, sixy four
 she was born, in Batton Rouge,
 Her father's tall, her mother's gone,
 She moved out when she was two,
 The way she laughed, the way she loved,
 Oh my God what did I do?
