Start with single strums.

D MajorD          E MajorE
You never crossed my mind
       A augmentedA       D MajorD
As i crossed all of those borderlines

D MajorD           E MajorE
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
  A augmentedA       D MajorD    DmDm
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.

A augmentedA     G+G     D MajorD
Mary-Lou's a drifter
          E MajorE
Oh she bummed a roll-up and a ride
 A augmentedA         G+G         D MajorD
And her southern drawl split those warm nights

 A augmentedA        G+G
"Well its nice to meet you
  D MajorD       E MajorE         A augmentedA
And youre very English well aint that swell.
  G+G        D MajorD        E MajorE
Oh come on kid lets give em' hell."

 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls (They make it easy)

 A augmentedA    G+G    D MajorD
Jazz fourty-fives and
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
Young dusty lust in 3 'o' clock wind
       G+G       D MajorD    E MajorE
I lost quick lovers to sloe gin

F# minorF#m
I was happy chasing,
C# minorC#m
Your skirt, Heartbeats racing
D MajorD         E MajorE
Then i skipped across the world...

D MajorD          E MajorE
You never crossed my mind
       A augmentedA       D MajorD
As i crossed all of those borderlines

D MajorD           E MajorE
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
  A augmentedA       D MajorD    DmDm
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.


 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls
 A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Those American girls (They make it easy)
