And Aubrey was her name
A# A#/A Gm7 Gm7/C
G not so very ordinary girl or name
[Verse 1]
F C/E Dm Dmmaj9 Fmaj7
But who's to blame for a love
Dm/B A#maj7
That wouldn't bloom
Dm7 Dm9
For the hearts that never played in tune
[Chorus 1]
Gm7 F/A A# F/A
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Gm7 F/A A# Dm/B
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing
Dm7 Csus4 C
[Intro Repeat]
F C/E Dm Fmaj7
And Aubrey was her name
A# A#/A Gm7 Gm7/C
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
[Verse 2]
F C/E Dm Dmmaj9 Fmaj7 Dm/B
But where was June? No it ne.....ver came around
A#maj7 Dm7 Dm9
If it did, it never made a sound
[Chorus 1]
Gm7 F/A A# F/A
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Gm7 F/A A# Dm/B
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7 Dmmaj9 Dm7
And God, I miss the girl
F7 A#
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
A#m F
Closer to her than to me

And Aubrey was her name

I never knew her but I loved her just the same
[Verse 3]
F C/E Dm Dmmaj9 Fmaj7 Dm/B
I loved her name. Wished that I had found a way
A#maj7 Dm7 Dm9
And the reasons that would make her stay
[Chorus 1]
Gm7 F/A A# F/A
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
Gm7 F/A A# Dm/B
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
[Chorus 3]
Fmaj7 Dmmaj9 Dm7
Oh, how I miss the girl
F7 A#
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
A#m F
She had been mine for a day.
