A Am9 Cmaj7 G
Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
Em7 A
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
A Am9 Cmaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
G Em7 A
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
A Am9 Cmaj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
G Em7 A
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"
A Am9 Cmaj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
G Em7 A
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild
A D E A
Cinderella can’t you see, don’t want your company

You better leave this mornin’ leave today,

take your love and your child away

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
Em7 A
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no
A Em7 A
Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no
A Am9 Cmaj7 G
Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
Em7 A
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
A Am9 Cmaj7 G
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
Em7 A
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
A D E A
Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company
A D E
D
Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
