INTRO: E A B..D G A..Dbm Gb Ab..Dbm Db

#1.
Db
She left the neighborhood, in which everyone was 
            Dbm
filthy rich.
Db                             E
She left her parents' home and strayed with 
      Ab       E            Ab
a vagabond who made vows of love she'd never heard 
                     Db
and she believed his every word.
E           B                   E
She left no forwarding address, just took her youth 
B                 Ab                        Db
and happiness, as with the boy she vanished in, the 
       Ab                 Db
secret sweetness of their sin.

CHORUS:
        Ab    Dbm                 Gbm
A young girl, a young girl who is sixteen..child of 
Ab          Dbm   Ab     Dbm               Ab
springtime, still green..lying here by the road.


INTERLUDE: Gb Ab Dbm

#2.
Dbm
He told her love demanded space, so they roamed from 
Db
place to place.
Dbm                         E
Although she realized she'd sinned, she threw caution 
                                Ab     Dbm      Ab
to the wind as she followed him around while he slowly 
Db
dragged her down.
E      B                     E                  B
So overpowering was her love that it had made a captive
       Ab                              Db
of the young girl's heart and soul and mind.
         Ab          Db               B
In other words..love drove her blind.


CHORUS:
        Ab    Dbm                 Gbm
A young girl, a young girl who is sixteen..child of 
Ab          Dbm   Ab     Dbm               Ab
springtime, still green..lying here by the road.

#3.
Db        Gb                 Db
Too much emotion for a girl, she let her heart become 
Dbm
her world.
Db                             E             B
But worlds that God hath never wrought fall asunder with

thoughts.
E            Gb                   Dbm       Ab
Had she been wiser she would have known she couldn't feed 
    Dbm
him love alone.
E               B                   E                  B
She should have known the day would come when he would quit 
             Ab                                  Db
her just for crumbs..he needed fresh new meat to carve..
             Ab              Db
and left her heart, soul and mind..to starve.
