This is an amazing song off of Beck's new album, "Guero" - one of his finest works.
Timing is tricky in the beginning, I suggest you listen to the song to get the rhythm
down.
Also recommend capo 1 to play it in A instead of Bb.
[Verse 1]
BbI saw her, yAbeah I saw her
With a Dbblack tongue tied Bbround the roses
BbA fist pounding on a Abvending machine
DbToy diamond ring Bbstuck on her finger
BbWith a noose she could hang from the sun
And Abput it out with the Dbdark sunglasses
BbWalking crooked down the beach
She Abspits in the sand where their Dbbones are bleaching
[Pre-Chorus]
FAnd I Abknow I'm gonna steal her eye
EbShe doesn't even know what's Fwrong
And you Abknow I'm gonna make it die
EbTake her where her soul beFlongs
AbKnow I'm gonna steal her eyGme
GbNothing that I wouldn't try 
[Chorus]
FHey   EbMy sun-eyed Bbgirl
FHey   Ebmy sun-eyed Bbgirl
   F     EbMy sun-eyed Bbgirl
FHey   Ebmy sun-eyed Bbgirl
[Verse 2]
BbI saw her, yAbeah I saw her
With her Dbhands tied back, her Bbrags are burnin'
BbCalling out from a landfiAblled life
DbScrawling her name up Bbon the ceiling
BbThrow a coin in the fountain of dust
AbWhite noise, her Dbears are ringing
BbGot a ticket for my midnight hanging
AbThrow a bullet from a Dbfreight train leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
FAnd I Abknow I'm gonna steal her eye
EbShe doesn't even know what's Fwrong
And you Abknow I'm gonna make it die
EbTake her where her soul belFongs
