[Db] [Eb] [Db] [Eb]
[Db] She [Eb] had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back [Gb] in 1965.
She [Ab] had legs that never ended.
[Db] I [Eb] was half without a lot.
[Db] She [Eb] was tall and cool and pretty, [Gb] and she dressed up like a skull.
If [Ab] she asked me to, I'd murder [Db] her.
I [Eb] wouldn't, glad it was my soul.
Now [Gb] I lie in bed [Ebm] and think of her.
[Gb] Sometimes I [Ebm] even weep.
Then [B] I dream of her [Db] behind the wall [Eb] of sleep.
[Db] Well, [Eb] she held a bass guitar and [Gb] she was playing in a band.
And [Ab] she stood just like Bill Wimer.
[Eb] Now I am her biggest fan.
[Db] [Ebm] Now I know I'm one of many [Gb] who would like to be your friend.
[Ab] And I've got my way [Bbm] to let [Ebm] you know I'm not my friend.

[Db] Got [Eb] your number from a friend of mine [Gb] who lives in your hometown.
[Ab] Caught you up at half-drink, [Db] so [Eb] I'll miss if you weren't around.
[Db] Now [Eb] I know I'm one of many who [Gb] would like to be your friend.
