Berkeley Girl
Harper Simon
Capo 3
[Intro]
C  Dm  G  C
[Verse 1]
  CShe is juniper and Dmroses
  GShe is amethyst and Cpearl
  CAnd though she makes her home in DmHollywood
  GShe's really just a BerkelCey girl
  CShe's the breeze on Sunday Dmmorning
  GBlowin' down the country Clane
  CShe's got the style of PauDmlette Goddard
  GAnd the smile of Joan FoCnteyne
[Bridge]
And she Dmdrives a CCarmen GGhia
Through the Dmstreets of CSilver GLake
And the Amhills Gof FEcCho GPark
[Verse 2]
  CShe is crinoline and Dmsatin
  GShe is leopard skin and Clace
  CHard to believe that she beDmlieved in me
  GWhen I was such a hopelCess case
  CAnd she knows from love and Dmservice
  GYes she knows from peace oCf mind
  CTo be not sinister in Dmpurpose
  GAnd to never be uCnkind
[Bridge]
And she Dmloves a CTulsi Ggarden
And she Dmloves her Crock and Groll
And she's AmnevGer Ffar Cfrom my Gmind
G7No...........
[Verse 3]
  CShe is juniper and Dmroses
  GGuess I'll sing it once aCgain
  CAnd though we are no longer Dmlovers
  GI know she'll always be mCy friend
  CSo if you ever ride beDmside her
  GTravellin' down the one – oh C– one
  CBe thankful that you're with a DmBerkeley girl
  GWho's beautiful beneath the Cmoon and the sun
[Outro]
CAhaaaa...............AhDmaaaa.............Ahaaa......ah.....ahG
