E B/D# C#m Emaj7
And Aubrey was her name
A A/G# F#m7 F#m7/B
F# not so very ordinary girl or name
[Verse 1]
E B/D# C#m C#mmaj9 Emaj7
But who's to blame for a love
C#m/A# Amaj7
That wouldn't bloom
C#m7 C#m9
For the hearts that never played in tune
[Chorus 1]
F#m7 E/G# A E/G#
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
F#m7 E/G# A C#m/A#
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing
C#m7 Bsus4 B
[Intro Repeat]
E B/D# C#m Emaj7
And Aubrey was her name
A A/G# F#m7 F#m7/B
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
[Verse 2]
E B/D# C#m C#mmaj9 Emaj7 C#m/A#
But where was June? No it ne.....ver came around
Amaj7 C#m7 C#m9
If it did, it never made a sound
[Chorus 1]
F#m7 E/G# A E/G#
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
F#m7 E/G# A C#m/A#
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
[Chorus 2]
Emaj7 C#mmaj9 C#m7
And God, I miss the girl
E7 A
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Am E
Closer to her than to me
[Instrumental]

[Intro Repeat]
E B/D# C#m Emaj7
And Aubrey was her name
A A/G# F#m7 F#m7/B
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
[Verse 3]
E B/D# C#m C#mmaj9 Emaj7 C#m/A#
I loved her name. Wished that I had found a way
Amaj7 C#m7 C#m9
And the reasons that would make her stay
[Chorus 1]
F#m7 E/G# A E/G#
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
F#m7 E/G# A C#m/A#
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
[Chorus 3]
Emaj7 C#mmaj9 C#m7
Oh, how I miss the girl
E7 A
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Am E
She had been mine for a day.
