[Verse 1]
    G               F#
She used to work in Woolies
Em                      C
    She worshipped Mary Quant
             G                   Bm
They Went to Blackpool for their holidays
    Em                    C
And sometimes the Isle Of Wight

    G                     F#
Her father supported 'the Spurs'
        Em                C
And her brother was doin' fine
        G                           Bm
And her old mum worked down the hairdresser's
      Em                        C
Doing blue rinses, three quid a time...

...Singin' --


[Chorus]
G             D                           Em  C

I wonder where you are...


[Verse 3]
   G              F#
By twenty she was married
        G                  C
And had another one on the way
            G                           Bm
And her old man fetched her a couple of backhands
Em                                C
Then did a bunk with a woman from Spain


[Chorus]
G             D                           Em  C
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl

[Verse 4]
G                          F#
She left her kids with her parents
          G              C
And disappeared into the night
      G                    Bm
Well, that was over twenty years ago...
   Em          C
...no sound or -- (sight)

[Verse 5]
G                D
Then one day down our high street
Em                     C
On my way to the local flicks
G                            D
I recognised the eyes of the woman, yeah
Em              C
At the pick an' mix

It was...

[Chorus]
G             D                           Em  C
Oh, oh, oh, - oh, oh oh - Woolworth girl
