D     A    G     A         (repetitive sequence)
She struts into the room
Well, I don't know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of look her over

D  A   G    A 
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly she starts telling me
Her life story, she says

G      G6        G       G6    
"Baby, if you wanna be my lover
G      G6    G    G6     F#  Bm  A 
You better take me home
G        A         A6       A    A6 
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
G  G6    G     G6  
And I'm still on my own"

D    A     G   A 
I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band

D     A    G    A 
She asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said, listen baby
You really wouldn't understand, then I said

G      G6        G       G6    
"Baby, if you wanna be my lover
G      G6    G    G6     F#  Bm  A 
You better take me home
G        A         A6       A    A6 
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
G  G6    G     G6  
And I'm still on my own"

G   G6    G    G6         ( F# - Bm - A ) 
You better take me home

G      A     A6      A    A6    G 
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
G6     G   G6   
And I'm still on my own, own"
