Tuning: Half-Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) The closest tuning is E♭. If you want to play along to the It's a Girl version, you need to be just a bit sharp of E♭. For the original Turn It Around recording, you need to be really flat (so somewhere between E♭ and D). Enjoy! Intro: D A G Bm Verse 1: D Oh, I lost my girlfriend A And now I'm really bummed G See my best friend with a girl Bm And she is quite a dish D
Oh, gosh, darn, drat, I'm so sad A That this happened to me G If I should see a star tonight Bm Than this my wish would be Chorus: E 'Cause I once had a girl And she was so good to me G Oh, bring her back, oh, bring her back Just bring her back to me E 'Cause life is so pathetic If I cannot have her love G And that is why I send my wish to you The star above Bridge: C D Sha la la C G Sha la la C D Sha la la la la la la la la C G La la la la Verse 2: D I took a walk to take a walk A Down to the wishing well G I threw a dime, but like my life Bm It fell and fell and fell D Oh God I do not think A That I can stand another day G I feel I must be dying Bm And that is why I pray Chorus: E 'Cause I once had a girl Who meant everything to me G Oh, bring her back, oh, bring her back Just bring her back to me E 'Cause life is so pathetic If I cannot have her love G E And that is why I send my wish to you...
