Homely Girl - UB40 By Markarman
Bar Chords work much better
[Intro]
G  F  G  F  G  F  G
G
It must have broke your poor little heart
G                                                 D
When the boys used to say "You look better in the dark"
D
But now they'd give up all they learn't in school
D                                G
To be somewhere in the dark with you
G
Oh homely girl
G
The teacher would ask the question
G                                D
And you, would always raise your hand
D
But soMMehow you never got your chance
D                                        G
My eyes would fill with wAAter inside I'd burn
G
Oh yes I would
D
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
D                  G
You'RRe a beautiful Woman
G
Oh yes you are
D
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
D                  G
You're a beautiful Woman
G
Oh homely girl
G
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
G                                           D
Who'd liKKe to hold that place his whole life through
D
Oh you were beAAutiful to me
D                                 G
You had a heaRRt no-one could ever see
G
Oh yes you did
D
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
D                  G
You're a beautiful WoMMan
G
Oh homely girl
Em                                           D
I was the only one who offered to cAArry your books
Em                                             D
Took all the stares and laughter and the dirty looks
             C         D    Bm  G
'Cause I saw then what they see now (They all wanna ask you for a dance)
                Am                    D
They don't know how they don't kNNow how
[Instrumental]

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely

You're a beautiful Woman

Aha, you used to be so lonely
