[Verse 1]
E A
She was fifteen, quiet and lean
E A
Digging the music, making the scene
E
People would stare at her long golden hair
A E
My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]
F#m Bm
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
F#m B
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
A E A
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]

She was so fine that after a time

I found myself hoping she would be mine
A
She spotted my plan, did not understand
E
She thought I was crazy holding her hand
[Chorus]
F#m
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
B
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
A E A
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 3]
D A D
I called upon her mother, she told me "There's another"
E
"Why don't you just quit and go home?"

I thought for just a minute, I knew that I was in it
E
I said "I'll never go home alone"
