Intro

[Verse 1]
Em7 Bm Em7 Bm
'Round and round the years go round and round
Em7 Bm Em7 Bm
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
G E7 A7 D7 G E7 F7 E7
C Cm G E7 A7 D7 G D7
G E7 A7 D7
Now she's down and out, everyone's above her
G E7 F7 E7
Tried everything a gal could try
C Cm G E7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
A7 D7 B7
And here's a reason why
E7
She came to the city like a good gal should
A7
Found a little pad in a bad neighbourhood
C#7 F#7
She learned about life and it was quite a shock
B7 B7 B7
But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block
C#7 F#7 B7 E7 D7 C#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]
Emaj7 E7 Emaj7 E7
Emaj7 E7 A7 Am7 Emaj7 E7
Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me?
A7 Am7 Emaj7 C#7
It's the only toy I'd ever wanted
F#m7 D#7 G#m7
Won't you take me for a walk in the park?
EM7 E6 EM7 E6
I love the big brass band
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
And the chestnut stand
Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7 C6 Bm7
And that sad old man...
[Verse 3]

'Round and round the years go round and round

And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound

(Spoken) Ah, but she's wrong, you know.
Cmaj7 C6

Because...
Bm7
I love her.
Notes:
*Song sounds good with strumming, however the chords are very specific
*Et 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 A7 and Am7 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.
