Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D          Bb    A          G
One little girl, fair as a pearl,
F            C         F
Worked every day in a laundry;
Eb           C         Bb       A
All that she made for food she paid,
        E         D               G
So she slept on a park bench so soundly;
F         A      F         A
An old procuress spied her there,
A            C         A       C
She came and whispered in her ear:

Chorus:
D            Eb      C
Come with me now, my girly,
E               D      F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G             Eb      D
Your face and tresses curly
D              F#       C
Will bring you fame and gold,
D     Eb       C        E            D       F
Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and silk to wear,
G           Bb           F           D
You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
C                        Bb
You'll make your fortune there.
Verse 2:
D           Bb    A         G
Same little girl, no more a pearl,
F          C              F
Walks all alone 'long the river,
Eb              C      Bb            A
Five years have flown, her health is gone,
           E          D           G
She would look at the water and shiver,
F              A       F        A
Whene'er she'd stop to rest and sleep,
A            C          A        C
She'd hear a voice call from the deep:

Chorus:
D            Eb      C
Come with me now, my girly,
E               D      F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G             Eb      D
Your face and tresses curly
D              F#       C
Will bring you fame and gold,
D     Eb       C        E            D       F
Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and silk to wear,
G           Bb           F           D
You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
C                        Bb
You'll make your fortune there.

Verse 3:
D             Bb   A         G
Girls in this way, fall every day,
F             C             F
And have been falling for ages,
Eb        C                   A
Who is to blame? You know his name,
         E              D          G
It's the boss that pays starvation wages.
F          A        F      A
A homeless girl can always hear
A           C       A     C
Temptations calling everywhere.

Chorus:
D            Eb      C
Come with me now, my girly,
E               D      F
Don't sleep out in the cold;
G             Eb      D
Your face and tresses curly
D              F#       C
Will bring you fame and gold,
D     Eb       C        E            D       F
Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and silk to wear,
G           Bb           F           D
You'll be a star bright, down in the red light,
C                        Bb
