Cello Girl chords by Caitlin Cary

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

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

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

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

Instrumental Break:
Em G Em C A

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