C G Am Am/G F G C
Verse 1:
C G
The last time I that I seen her
Am Am/G
She was standing on the sidewalk
F G
In front of the town café
C G
And she smiled and she waved
Am
When I called out her name
F G
Then she just looked back down again
Dm Am
Maybe she didn’t want me to come on over
F G
Maybe she was only ashamed
C G Am
Of the bright coloured paint that she wore on her face
F G C
And those high heels that she wears in the rain
Verse 2:
C G Am Am/G
They had them a place on the 16th line

A mile or so outside the city
C G Am Am/G
And the truckers come in with all their sad stories
F G
And they feed ‘m breakfast and pity
Bridge:
Dm Am
But the days were long and the work was hard
F G
And I guess she decided to trade
C G Am Am/G
Bacon and eggs, a buck ninety-nine
F G C
For high heels she could wear in the rain
Verse 3:
C G Am Am/G
She moved into town, she got a place
F G
That backs of on to the street
C G Am Am/G
Him and me we sit in the shadows we listened
F G
To the music coming down through her screen
Dm Am
And in the morning she wakes up and draws back the curtains
F G
And looks out on a brand new day
C G Am Am/G
She put on her things and steps into the streets
F G C
With those high heels that she wears in the rain
Outro:
C G
The last time I that I seen her
AM
She was standing on the sidewalk
F G C
In front of the town café
