(Intro)
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
(Verse)
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Chicago wind almost knocked me over
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Hurricane Andy's got me running for cover
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And I forgot if there was any other people
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
In the world, besides me and you
I'm breaking through a brick wall
That's been standing for hours
I hide my head from the scattered showers
The hurricane is gonna knock down towers tonight
(Pre-Chorus)
G+G D MajorD
Perhaps you're wondering if I'm available
A augmentedA G+G
Well don't worry about it, baby, I'm available
G+G
I'm available
G+G A augmentedA
I'm so available
(Chorus)
D MajorD A augmentedA G6G6 A augmentedA
Little red-haired girl
D MajorD A augmentedA G6G6 A augmentedA
Don't pass right by my table
D MajorD A augmentedA G6G6 A augmentedA
I am so unable
G+G A augmentedA
To conceal my lust
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Red-haired girl
(Repeat Verse pattern)
You hold the keys to my unbridled fury
I'm walking home although the snow's in flurries
And none of that could ever make me hurry as I pass your house
Green with white shutters
Storm clouds gather in my tearducts
It's gettin' cold so I wear my earmuffs
All the emotions are making me fear a coup d'etat
On my central nervous system
(Repeat Pre-Chorus pattern)
Perhaps you're unnerved by my honesty
Well don't worry about it, baby, I don't need honesty
Who needs honesty?
Forget about honesty
I hate honesty
(Repeat Chorus pattern)
Little red-haired girl
Don't pass me on the sidewalk
'Cause everytime our eyes lock
I can't feel the freezing rain
Oh little red-haired girl
Ah, baby, aw, alright, alright, I'm, I'mma just, just wait
Little red-haired girl
Good grief
(Bridge)
A augmentedA
Ah yes
Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA
It's, it's just our first record
A augmentedA
I want you to fall in love with me
A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
I want you put your little white hand over my pretty red mouth
(Repeat Verse pattern)
Listen: after the flood there was a big block party
The streets were rivers like that town in Italy
I wore my khakis so you wouldn't call my ugly
The hail was hammering my eyes, I couldn't see
(Repeat Pre-Chorus pattern)
And every few nights I would dream about you
And it makes me wanna sing this song to you
But you don't like this song
I don't have to sing this song
I'll never sing this song again
(Repeat Chorus pattern)
Little red-haired girl
Don't pass right by my table
I am so unable
To conceal my love
Little red-haired girl
Don't pass me on the sidewalk
'Cause everytime our eyes lock
I can hear that hurricane
(Repeat Verse pattern)
Red-haired girl
Oh, baby, baby,
I wanna take a walk with you
On the sand
