Ooooooooh

E
Once a girl
A
In mommy?s world
G#m                        A
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs
G#m                  F#m
In her newly learned tongue

E  A  E  A  E  A
Ooooooooh

E
our girl
A
In this world
G#m                        A
Married to a stranger?s name
G#m                    F#m
Writing to him all the same

E                    A
Oh but where can she go
        E      A
If she?s going alone?
E             A
Where can she go
        E       A
If she?s going alone?

E            A      G#m
Where can she go to avoid
          F#m
The love goodbye?

E  A  E  A  E  A
Oooooooooh

All the same
F#m
Letters answer letters
           G#m
In a round about way
         A
?Sweet darling? they commence,
           F#m           E
But she no longer feels that way

           E
Oh there?s not a soul
        A
In the streets below
      G#m
She's sitting by the window,
     F#m
Clinging to the phone
   G#m
Dialing endless numbers
  F#m
No reply
      G#m    A
Love goodbye.

E  A  E  A  E  A
Ooooooooh

E                    A
Oh but where can she go
        E      A
If she?s going alone?
E             A
Where can she go
        E       A
If she?s going?

E                    A
where can she go
        E      A
If she?s going alone?
E    A
She?s going alone
E        A
She?s going?
