Intro
Gm7 Dm Gm7 Dm
[Verse 1]
Gm7 Dm Gm7 Dm
'Round and round the years go round and round
Gm7 Dm Gm7 Dm
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
A# G7 C7 F7 A# G7 Ab7 G7
D# D#m A# G7 C7 F7 A# F7
A# G7 C7 F7
Now she's down and out, everyone's above her
A# G7 Ab7 G7
Tried everything a gal could try
D# D#m A# G7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
C7 F7 D7
And here's a reason why
G7
She came to the city like a good gal should
C7
Found a little pad in a bad neighbourhood
E7 A7
She learned about life and it was quite a shock
D7 D7 D7
But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block
E7 A7 D7 G7 F7 E7
Ah, right!
[Spoken]
N.C.
Yeah, and it's really a shame too, 'cause she was her daddy's pride and joy.
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 G7 Gmaj7 G7
Gmaj7 G7 C7 Cm7 Gmaj7 G7
Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me?
C7 Cm7 Gmaj7 E7
It's the only toy I'd ever wanted
Am7 F#7 Bm7
Won't you take me for a walk in the park?
GM7 G6 GM7 G6
I love the big brass band
Fmaj7 F6 Fmaj7 F6
And the chestnut stand
D#maj7 D#6 D#maj7 D#6 Dm7
And that sad old man...
[Verse 3]
Gm7 Dm Gm7 Dm
'Round and round the years go round and round
Gm7 Dm Gm7 Dm
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
A# G7 C7 F7 A# G7 Ab7 G7
D# D#m A# G7 C7 F7 A# F7
A# G7 C7 F7
But she's down and out, everyone's above her
A# G7 Ab7 G7
Tried everything a gal could try
D# D#m A# G7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
[Outro]
GM7 G
Fmaj7 F6
Fmaj7 F6
(Spoken) Ah, but she's wrong, you know.
D#maj7 D#6
D#maj7 D#6
Because...
Dm7
I love her.
Notes:
*Song sounds good with strumming, however the chords are very specific
*Gt 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 C7 and Cm7 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.
