"Winona"
   Intro
   C D G Bm Em C D G
   GI tried to call you but the line was buAmsy
   DWere you talking to a frieGnd
   EmAnd when I tried again much Amlater
   DI didn't want to let it ring agGain
   GSo you can see I've got a prAmoblem
   DBack by popular deGmand
   EmSometimes I want to keep it Amfrom you
                                D        G   G-  Bm- Em  
   Sometimes I think you'll understand
   (CHORUS)
   EmCould you be my little Ammovie star
                            D        G   G-  Bm- Em  
   Could you be my long lost girl
   EmIt's true that I don't really Amknow you
   DBut I'm alone in the Gworld
   (Use chord progression from second verse)
   When I think maybe I need you
   I don't care if it's not true
   'Cause it isn't so much what I need now
   As what I want from you
   (CHORUS)
   (CHORUS)
   EmI feel alAmone...D  G  
   EmI feel alAmone...D  G  
   -----------------------------------------
   When doing the G - Bm - Em part it works best (for me anyway) to do the
   G like a regular E but bar the third fret (I don't know if thats the
   right way to describe it but the fingers are like so...)
   G:                                   Bm:
