[E] [B] [G#]
[A] [B]
[E] [B]
[A] [E] I was walking round Cloverdale [B] Square Not
[A] [E] a chill to the winter but a nip to the [B] air
[A] From the other [E]
[B] direction [A] she was calling [E] my name
[A] It could be an [E]
[B] illusion [A] but I might as [E] well try, might [B] as well try
[C#] [G#]
[E] She had rings on her fingers and bells on her [B] shoes
[A] And [E] I knew without asking she was in love [B] with
She
[A] wore [E] scarlet [A] pagonias tucked into [E] her heels
[A] I knew right [E] away she [A] was not like other [E] girls, other [B] girls
[E] [A#] [B]
[E] In the thick of the evening when the feeling got [B] rough
[A] She [E] was too packed to open and too cool to [B] plug
[A] As I picked [E] up my matches [A] and was closing [E] the door
[A] I had one of those [B] flashes, [A] I'd been there [E] before, been there [B]
before
[F#] Well I ain't all right but I've never been [B] wrong
It's never turned out [A] the way it does [E] in the song
[F#] Once in a while you get shown the light
[B] And the strangest of [A] faces if you look at [E] it right
Well [F#]
[A]
[B]
[E] there ain't nothing wrong with the way [B] she moves
[F#]
[A] [E] Or scarlet pagonias that are touching [B] up the heels
[A] And there's [E] nothing wrong [B] with [A] the look that's in her [E]
eyes
[A] I had to let [E] the [B] heart awake [A] to let her [E] pass by, let her [B] pass by

[F#] [A] [E] The sky was yellow and the [G#m] sun was [B] blue
[A] Strangers stopping [F#] strangers [A] just to [E] shake their head
