Verse 1:

   Em7                           Am7                 Bm7
Li-berian girl; you came and you changed my world; a love so brand new.
   Em7                           Am7                 Bm7
Li-berian girl, you came and you changed me, girl; a feeling so true. 

Chorus 1:

   C
Li-berian girl,
                                Em7
You know that you came, and you changed my world.
                                  F#m7b5
Just like in the movies, with two lovers in a scene,
                                     Bsus4
And she says; do you love me? And he says, so endlessly;
  B (n.C.)          (Em7)
I love you, Liberian girl.

   Em7                            Am7             Bm7
Li-berian girl, you kiss me then, ooh, the world, you do this to me.

Chorus 2:

Li-berian girl,
                                Em7
You know that you came, and you changed my world.
                                  F#m7b5
Just like in the movies, with two lovers in a scene,
                                     Bsus4
And she says; do you love me? And he says, so endlessly;

I love you, Liberian girl.

I wait for the day, when you have to say "I do",
                                       Bsus4
And I'll smile and say it too, and for-ever we'll be true,

I love you, Liberian girl.
