Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

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:

Bridge:

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?

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?
