INTRO: (2x)

D       Em                                  G 
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in nineteen sixty five
        Am                      D     Em    
She had legs that never ended - I was halfway paralyzed
D       Em                               G 
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
         Am                      D       Em
If she'd ask me to, I'd murder - I would gladly lose my soul

      G              Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her
    G            Em
Sometimes I even weep
       C
Then I dream of her
   D               Em
Behind the wall of sleep

D       Em                              G  
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
        Am                           D     Em
And she stood just like Bill Wyman - Now I am her biggest fan
D     Em                             G
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
         Am                   D       Em
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

      G              Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her
    G            Em
Sometimes I even weep
       C
Then I dream of her
   D               Em
Behind the wall of sleep

BREAK
D  Em  G  Am  D  Em
D  Em  G  Am  D  Em

      G              Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her
    G            Em
Sometimes I even weep
       C
Then I dream of her
   D               Em
Behind the wall of sleep

D        Em                               G
Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your home town
           Am                        D        Em
Called you up to have a drink - Your roommate said you weren't around
D     Em                             G 
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
         Am                   D       Em
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

      G              Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her
    G            Em
Sometimes I even weep
       C
Then I dream of her
   D               Em
