Intro
Am7 Em Am7 Em
[Verse 1]
Am7 Em Am7 Em
'Round and round the years go round and round
Am7 Em Am7 Em
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
C A7 D7 G7 C A7 A#7 A7
F Fm C A7 D7 G7 C G7
C A7 D7 G7
Now she's down and out, everyone's above her
C A7 A#7 A7
Tried everything a gal could try
F Fm C A7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
D7 G7 E7
And here's a reason why
A7
She came to the city like a good gal should
D7
Found a little pad in a bad neighbourhood
F#7 B7
She learned about life and it was quite a shock
E7 E7 E7
But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block
F#7 B7 E7 A7 G7 F#7
Ah, right!
[Spoken]
N.C.
Yeah, and it's really a shame too, 'cause she was her daddy's pride and joy.
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 A7 Amaj7 A7
Amaj7 A7 D7 Dm7 Amaj7 A7
Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me?
D7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#7
It's the only toy I'd ever wanted
Bm7 G#7 C#m7
Won't you take me for a walk in the park?
AM7 A6 AM7 A6
I love the big brass band
Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
And the chestnut stand
Fmaj7 F6 Fmaj7 F6 Em7
And that sad old man...
[Verse 3]
Am7 Em Am7 Em
'Round and round the years go round and round
Am7 Em Am7 Em
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
C A7 D7 G7 C A7 A#7 A7
F Fm C A7 D7 G7 C G7
C A7 D7 G7
But she's down and out, everyone's above her
C A7 A#7 A7
Tried everything a gal could try
F Fm C A7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
[Outro]
AM7 A
Gmaj7 G6
Gmaj7 G6
(Spoken) Ah, but she's wrong, you know.
Fmaj7 F6
Fmaj7 F6
Because...
Em7
I love her.
Notes:
*Song sounds good with strumming, however the chords are very specific
*At the end of the first chorus, I suggest you do a barred A7 down to the barred G7, and down to the
F#7. Should be easier, hopefully
*The D7 and Dm7 part is a bit tricky since it's not the regular barred chord, however, if it's too difficult
you can compromise as it doesn't sound too different
*If you have suggestions, please feel free to message me
Thanks for viewing! This song is one of Don's greatest, and yet again, it is painfully and criminally
underrated.
It is another instance of the album's themes of the toxicity of the city-life, again shown through a father
and daughter relationship. In contrast to Three Flights Up's father and daughter relationship, the "Bad Girl"
in this song appears to be the one who falls short, as the song expresses the daughter's meaningful
childhood. Such a shame a beautiful song is nearly unheard of.
