Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
D#m7 G#
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
G# G#m9 Bmaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
F# D#m7 G#
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
G# G#m9 Bmaj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
F# D#m7 G#
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"
G# G#m9 Bmaj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
F# D#m7 G#
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild
G# C# D# G#
Cinderella can’t you see, don’t want your company
G# C#
You better leave this mornin’ leave today,
D# C# G#
take your love and your child away
G# G#m9
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
Bmaj7 F#
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
D#m7 G#
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no
G# D#m7 G#
Woh, woh, woh...etc. Woh, woh, woh, no
G# G#m9 Bmaj7 F#
Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
D#m7 G#
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
G# G#m9 Bmaj7 F#
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
D#m7 G#
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
G# C# D# G#
Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company
G# C# D#
C#
Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
G#
away
