Here's Lloyd Cole's "Mannish Girl" - a non-album track on the
"Morning is Broken" CD5.  Great song - should have been on
the album.

  D (xx0232@1)                  AI (x02220@1)used to get drunk on Spanish wine

      Em7                GWell, (320003@1)now I'm drunk most all the time

                         GAnd (320003@1)watch the grass grow green


And count the cars

        A (x02220@1)             G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1) Em7
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood

     D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1) Em7  GSo (320003@1)I wait, hey hey

      D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1) Em7  GYes (320003@1)I wait, hey hey


*verse 2 - same*
Well I had a girl in London town
She picked me up and spun me round
I guess she was a mannish kind of girl
I went away and I still don't know why
Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies
I'm just afraid I can't forget her now


*chorus -same*
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
So I wait, hey hey, hey hey

*verse 3 - same*
I used to be too big too crawl
Now I don't give a damn at all
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine
But now I'm drunk most all the time
I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now

*chorus - same - keep repeating D  A  Em7 G over extra lines*
And so I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey
Yes I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey, hey hey
