EDWARD BALL / THE MILL HILL SELF HATE CLUB
(from 'Catholic Guilt', 1997)
The verses all follow the same simple pattern: F - G - Am - Am
And so does the refrain: C - D7 - F - F
The rest can be easily improvised.

F G Am Am
F G Am Am
F G
A dark shadow hangs over me
Am
It follows me wherever I go
F G
So I wrote this song for the girl by the sea
Am
To remind me that we were once close
F G
I could never stand to be without you
Am
But when we were together, well we just couldn't stop fighting
F G
If you see her, gonna tell her, gonna tell if you see her
Am
That I really really miss her
C D7
If you see her, tell her
F
I'm standing at the Fiveways as the world spins round around me
C D7
If you see her, tell her
F
I'm just another member of the Mill Hill Self Hate Club
Am G F F
Am G F F
F G
On London Fields I fell for a girl
Am
On Primrose Hill she changed my world
F G
In a storm at Dover
Am
I knew our love would open up
F G
Then she brought me back to life
Am
Just to have me crucified
F G
For fourteen stations of my cross
Am
From Waterloo to Dover Docks
F G
But if you see her, gonna tell her, gonna tell her if you see her
Am
That I really really miss her
C D7
If you see her, tell her,
F
I'm standing at the Fiveways as the world spins round around me
C D7
If you see her gonna tell her, gonna tell her if you see her
F
I really really miss her and it's driving me insane
C D7
If you see her, tell her
F
I'm standing at the Fiveways as the world spins round around me
C D7
If you see her, tell her,
F
I'm just another member of the Mill Hill Self Hate Club
C D7
If you see her, tell her (won't you, please?)
F
I'm just another member of the Mill Hill Self Hate Club
C D7
If you see her gonna tell her, gonna tell her if you see her
F
I really really miss her and it's driving me insane
C D7
If you see her, tell her
F
I'm just another member of the Mill Hill Self Hate Club
C D7
If you see her gonna tell her, gonna tell her if you see her
F
I really really miss her...
