Originally in D, I play in G

Intro, with lots of jangling and bass movement

G

Vox on the 1

GWell, she was an AAmerican girl

CRaised on Dpromises

GShe couldn’t help Athinkin’ that there was a

CLittle more to life Dsomewhere else

DAfter all it was a Ggreat big world

CWith lots of places to Amrun to

DAnd if she had to die tryin’ she had one little promise she was gonna keep

GWell, it was kinda Acold that night

CShe stood alone on the Dbalcony

GYeah, she could hear the Acars roll by

Out on Cfour forty-one like Dwaves crashin’ on the beach

DAnd for one desperate Gmoment there

CHe crept back in her Ammemory

DGod it’s so painful when something that’s so close is still so far out of reach

Funky bridge
