[Db] [Eb] [Db] [Eb]
[Db] She [Eb] had hair like Jeannie [Gb] Shrimpton back in 1965
She [Ab] had legs of leather and [Db] dirt, I [Eb] was half-hypnotized
[Db] She [Eb] was tall and cool and pretty and [Gb] she just acted like a skull
If [Ab] she asked me to, I'd murder [Db] her, [Eb] I'd hurt gladiators' muscles
[Gb] Now I lie in bed [Ebm] and think of her, [Gb] sometimes I [Ebm] even weep
As [B] I dream of her [Db] behind the wall [Eb] of sleep
Well, [Db] [Eb] she held a bass guitar and she [Bbm] used to [Gb] play it in a band
And [Abm] she stood just like Bill [Db] Wyman, now [Eb] I am her biggest fan
[Db] Now [Ebm] I've known a man who [Gb] would like to be your friend
And [Ab] I've got my way [Db] to let [Ebm] you know I'm not my friend
Now [Gb] I lie in bed [Ebm] and think of her, [Gb] sometimes I [Ebm] even weep
As [B] I dream of her [Db] behind the wall [Eb] of sleep
[Db] [Eb] [Gb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Db] [Eb] [Gb]
[Ab] [Db] [Eb] [Ebm]
Now [Gb] I lie in bed [Eb] and think of her, [Gb] sometimes [Ebm] I even weep
As [B] I dream of her [Db] behind the wall [Eb] of sleep
[Db] Got [Eb] your number from a friend of mine [Gb] who lived in your hometown
And called [Ab] you up to have a drink [Db] of the room [Eb] they said you weren't around
[Db] Now [Eb] I've known a man who [Gb] would like to be your friend
And [Ab] I've got my way [Db] to let [Eb] you know [Ebm] I'm not my friend
Now [Gb] I lie in bed [Eb] and think of her, [Gb] sometimes I even [Ebm] weep
As [B] I dream of her [Db] behind [Ab] the wall of [Eb] sleep
[B] [Db] Behind the wall of [Eb] sleep
[Db] Behind the wall of [Eb] sleep
[Ebm] Behind [Ab] the wall of [Ebm] sleep
[Db] [Ebm] [Db] [Ebm] [Db] [Ebm]
