Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
D MajorD                              A minorAm
The pretty girl who played the cello
             C majorC
What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD                    A minorAm
Particulars can slip away
                         C majorC
Pictures etched upon the brain. Whooah-oooh
E minorEm                                G+G
Like her long blonde hair and her big thick braid
E minorEm                       C majorC
Long low notes that took years to fade
A minorAm
Years to fade

Chorus:
D MajorD                 G+G
She was handsome, she was pretty
A augmentedA                     G+G
She probably moved to New York City
D MajorD             C majorC                  G+G
  What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD                  G+G
She probably rides the downtown FF train
A augmentedA                  G+G
Dates a boy that’s half her age
             C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?


Verse 2:
D MajorD                          A minorAm
Picked a squeaky violin to play with
                   C majorC
But I can’t really play. No, I can’t really play
D MajorD                              A minorAm
I think I wished for something deeper
                         C majorC
Because high notes won’t keep her. They’ll never keep her
E minorEm                                G+G
With her long blonde hair and her big thick braid
E minorEm                       C majorC
Long low notes that took years to fade
A minorAm
Years and years to fade

Chorus:
D MajorD                 G+G
She was handsome, she was pretty
A augmentedA                     G+G
I made my way to New York City
D MajorD             C majorC                  G+G
  What was her name? What was her name?


Instrumental Break:
E minorEm G+G E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA


Bridge:
D MajorD
I bet she joined the philharmonic
A augmentedA             G+G
Got herself a nice apartment
D MajorD             C majorC                  G+G
  What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD                    G+G
Sometimes I ride the downtown FF train
A augmentedA                     G+G
Would I recognize her anyway?
D MajorD            C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD            C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD            C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD            C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?
D MajorD            C majorC                  G+G
What was her name? What was her name?
