Probably the easiest song to play off the Harps and Angels album, but no less great.
A
She's only a girl
And her voice is peculiar
E E7
And her eyes are strange
E
She's prone to be willful
E7
You try to cheer her up some
A
But she's impervious to change
A
She dresses in black all of the time
E E7
Wears an orthopedic shoe
E E7 A
It's some sort of uglification thing that she's into
A
She's a hundred and ten
A7
Maybe five foot five
D
She don't eat meat
Dm
But she'll eat you alive
A
She's only a girl
E
But she's big time
Instrumental:
A / E E7 / E E7 / A
A
She's only a girl
And I'll tell you about her
E E7
At least all that I know
E
She's from South Carolina
E7
And she came out here
A
A few years ago
She waits on tables
Works in a bank
E E7
Volunteers at the zoo
E
She sure ain't lazy
E7
But she's very young
A
That's why I called you
She's only a girl
Instrumental:
A / E E7 / E E7 / A
Spoken Word:
A
Well man, now you seen her, what do you think?
E E7
Uh-huh...
E E7
Yeah....
A
Thought you'd say that..
No? Alright, go ahead.
E E7 E
'Course I know. No you're wrong there.
E7
Now listen:
A
Love is blind
A7
And deaf as well
D
But I love this girl
Dm
Can't you tell?
A
She's only a girl
E
And she loves me
Key Change:
Instrumental
C / G G7 / G G7 / C

Why would someone

Beautiful as she
