Young Girl Blues – Donovan Leitch
Tuned half a step down
AmIt's Saturday night, it fDmeels like a Sunday in soAmme ways
If you had any sense, you'd maybe go away for a few days
Be that as it may, you can only say you are lonely
You are but a young girl working your way through the phonies
DmCafe onC, mBbilk gone, sE7uch a sad light and Amfading.
DmYourself you toucCh, Bbbut not too much. E7You hear it's deAmgrading.
AmThe flowers on your Dmstockings wilting away in Amthe midnight
The book you are reading is mans opinion of moonlight
Your skin is so white, you'd like maybe to go to bed soon
Just closing your eyes if you're to rise up before noon
DmHigh heelCs, Bbcar wheels, E7all the losers are Amgroovin'
DmYour dreaCm, Bbstrange scene, E7images are Ammovin'
AmYour friends they are making Dma pop star or two every eAmvening
You know that scene backwards, they can't see the patterns they're weaving
Your friends they're all models but you soon got over that one
You sit in your one room a little brought down in London
DmCafe onC,  Bbmilk gone, E7such a sad light and fAmading.
DmYourself you toucCh, Bbbut not too much. E7You hear it's degrAmading.
AmIt's Saturday night, it Dmfeels like a Sunday in Amsome ways
If you had any sense, you'd maybe go away for a few days
Be that as it may, you can only say you are lonely
You are but a young girl working your way through the phonies

Young Girl Blues – Donovan Leitch

Tuned half a step down

Am Dm Am

It's Saturday night, it feels like a Sunday in some ways

If you had any sense, you'd maybe go away for a few days

Be that as it may, you can only say you are lonely

You are but a young girl working your way through the phonies

Dm C Bb E7 Am

Cafe on, milk gone, such a sad light and fading.

Dm C Bb E7 Am

Yourself you touch, but not too much. You hear it's degrading.

Am Dm Am

The flowers on your stockings wilting away in the midnight

The book you are reading is mans opinion of moonlight

Your skin is so white, you'd like maybe to go to bed soon

Just closing your eyes if you're to rise up before noon

Dm C Bb E7 Am

High heels, car wheels, all the losers are groovin'

Dm C Bb E7 Am

Your dream, strange scene, images are movin'

Am Dm Am

Your friends they are making a pop star or two every evening

You know that scene backwards, they can't see the patterns they're weaving

Your friends they're all models but you soon got over that one

You sit in your one room a little brought down in London

Dm C Bb E7 Am

Cafe on, milk gone, such a sad light and fading.

Dm C Bb E7 Am

Yourself you touch, but not too much. You hear it's degrading.

Am Dm Am

It's Saturday night, it feels like a Sunday in some ways

If you had any sense, you'd maybe go away for a few days

Be that as it may, you can only say you are lonely

You are but a young girl working your way through the phonies
