LYRIC SHEET (casually, dreamy-eyed)
Gmaj
Oh, yeah--
Am7 D7
Gmaj7
Am7 D7
I once knew a lass, liked to smoke grass
Gmaj7
That perky face and those thighs
Am7 D7
I would memorize
Gmaj7
Am7 D7
And this girl, made my head whirl
Gmaj7
That's all there was
Am7 D7
Gmaj7
Oh, yeah--
Am7 D7
She was kinda nuts, but there were no "but"s
Gmaj7
I had to have her
Am7 D7
It was kinda nice, chilled me like ice
Gmaj7
Wakin' up next to her Light in the windowsill, yeah . . .
Am7 D7
She was the one, wore her hair in a bun
Gmaj7
And worked in the garden, she had a pail, oh yeah . . .
Am7 D7
She went shopping for clothes, they were all old
Gmaj7
Down at Goodwill
Am7 D7
Didn't know that I sang, Didn't know that it rang
Gmaj7
Outta key, too -- oh yeah Love it I love it, all--
Am7 D7
Just got a pencil, on a paper, and you just
Gmaj7
write it, write it on down, Round, round round and round . . .
Am7 D7
Didn't like tv, just you and me, baby
Gmaj7
She was from the country
Am7 D7
She knew a little french, got my monkeywrench
Gmaj7
And made some magic Can't find magic
Am7 D7
It's all over now Don't even know how, but my baby's
Gmaj7
gone. She's gone, she's gone, and that's all right, it's all right because I'm
Am7 D7
Sittin' around, I'm not up I'm not down -- Just
Gmaj7
gettin' by, gettin' high, driving around and around in the sky yeah
Am7 D7
Some say it's crazy, others lazy, but I
Gmaj7
know. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know -- you just gotta
Am7 D7
Do it all up there again someday, You might get lucky, today I know
Gmaj7
She's comin' back
Gmaj7
Gunny sack, gunny sack, gunny gunny sack-- And she's
Am7
She was the one
D7 Gmaj7
Wore her hair in the bun, and I ain't tellin' no more
G#maj7 Gmaj7
No, no no no--
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Of the 93.08.26 recording, there's two versions of the intro -- a long,
unedited one and a shorter one without all of the "let's see here -- what
kinda chords we got here" dialogue. The chord pattern is the same for
this intro.
A 1987 Fender Stratocaser (stock pickups, rosewood neck, jumbo frets, Kahler
tremolo, cream colored) was also used, plugged directly into the board (a
Yamaha MT-120 4-track recorder).
A Group Image demo tape (also released under the GPL) can be ordered for
$4 (Canada $5, World $7) cash or money order (US check made out to Michael
Stutz) from Michael Stutz, PO BOX 542, BEREA OH 44017-0542 USA. (This is
information dated as of 95.01.18 -- verify before ordering from
