Intro
Dm7 Am Dm7 Am
[Verse 1]
Dm7 Am Dm7 Am
'Round and round the years go round and round
Dm7 Am Dm7 Am
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
F D7 G7 C7 F D7 Eb7 D7
A# A#m F D7 G7 C7 F C7
F D7 G7 C7
Now she's down and out, everyone's above her
F D7 Eb7 D7
Tried everything a gal could try
A# A#m F D7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
G7 C7 A7
And here's a reason why
D7
She came to the city like a good gal should
G7
Found a little pad in a bad neighbourhood
B7 E7
She learned about life and it was quite a shock
A7 A7 A7
But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block
B7 E7 A7 D7 C7 B7
Ah, right!
[Spoken]
N.C.
Yeah, and it's really a shame too, 'cause she was her daddy's pride and joy.
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 D7 Dmaj7 D7
Dmaj7 D7 G7 Gm7 Dmaj7 D7
Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me?
G7 Gm7 Dmaj7 B7
It's the only toy I'd ever wanted
Em7 C#7 F#m7
Won't you take me for a walk in the park?
DM7 D6 DM7 D6
I love the big brass band
Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7 C6
And the chestnut stand
A#maj7 A#6 A#maj7 A#6 Am7
And that sad old man...
[Verse 3]
Dm7 Am Dm7 Am
'Round and round the years go round and round
Dm7 Am Dm7 Am
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound
[Chorus]
F D7 G7 C7 F D7 Eb7 D7
A# A#m F D7 G7 C7 F C7
F D7 G7 C7
But she's down and out, everyone's above her
F D7 Eb7 D7
Tried everything a gal could try
A# A#m F D7
She takes the notion that nobody loves her
[Outro]
DM7 D
Cmaj7 C6
Cmaj7 C6
(Spoken) Ah, but she's wrong, you know.
A#maj7 A#6
A#maj7 A#6
Because...
Am7
I love her.
Notes:
*Song sounds good with strumming, however the chords are very specific
*Dt 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 G7 and Gm7 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.
