Intro:   C   Gx2
CEverything's so easy for PauGline
CEverything's so easy for PauGline
EmAncient strings set feet a light to Gspeed to her such mild grace
No Emmonument of tacky gold
They Csmoothed her hair with B7cinnamon waves
And they Cplaced an ingot Gin her breast
to burn B7cool and colClected
EmFate holds her firm in its Gcradle
and then Crolls her for a tender pause to Csavor
B7Everything's so easy for PauEmlineB7  Em  
CGirl with the parking lot eGyes
CMargaret is the fragments of a Gname
Her Embravery is mistaken for the Gthrashing in the lake
Of the Emmake-believe monster whose B7picture was faked
CMargaret is the fragments of a Gname
Her Clove pours like a fountain Her Glove steams like rage
Her Emjaw aches from wanting and she's Gsick from chlorine
But she'll B7never be as clean
As the Ccool side of satin, PauGline
PauEmliiiiiinGe
  B7    Emx3  
CTwo girls ride the blue Gline
CTwo girls walk down the same Emstreet
EmOne left her sweater Gsittin' on the train
The Cother lost three fingers at the Gcannery
CEverything's so Geasy for PauB7liiiiiiEmne
For PauB7liiiiiEmne
For PauCliiiiinGe
B7  Em
