INTRO   C5  C5  F5  C5   

               C5                    C5       
I thought I knew, the girl so well 
F5              C5 
if she was sad, I couldn't tell 
                          C5 
I missed the point, I missed the sings 
F5                          C5         
  so if she's gone, the fault is mine 
   D5                                  C5 
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things 
       D5                               C5       
and even though, I could face them one by one 
             G5 
she would still be gone 
 
Chorus 
G5               C5 
   Her eyes are blue 
              C5       
her hair is long 
       F5 
sixty four 
       C5 
she was born 
      G5               C5 
in Batton rouge 
                C5 
the very song 
           F5 
is in my life 
              C5       G5          A5 
I meorized her ev'ry move 
             C5                    F5 
I knew her books, her car, her clothes 
           C5      C5          F5                 C5    G5        C5 
but I paid,    no  attention   to what mattered most 

Verse 2 
I never asked, she never said 
And when she cried I turned my head 
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors 
That made them easy to ignore 
And I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees 
Now all I have to show 
Or would she walk out the door? 
The cold facts and nothin' more 
 
Chorus 
 
Chorus 2 
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long,   sixy four 
she was born, in Batton Rouge,  
Her father's tall, her mother's gone, 
She moved out when she was two, 
The way she laughed, the way she loved, 
Oh my God what did I do?
