Verse :

F#5                         C#5
The blue girls that bake in the sun
F#5                        C#5
Skin falls in flakes from each one
F#5                  C#5
Like leaves from autumn trees
F#5                C#5
They float upon the breeze 

Chorus :
Bb5                  C#5
These girls you have loved
Bb5         C#5  
Are slowly decaying, ah
Bb5              C#5
Drying out in the sun
F#5          Ab5      
Before your eyes
Bb5                C#5
Wild stares in your face
Bb5         C#5 
They seem to accuse you
Bb5              C#5
Oh, what have you done
F#5             Ab5      
To earn their surprise?
 
The flesh underneath candy pink
Quite a strange affair one might think
They gasp and moan for air
Beached fish on your lawn-chair

These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying, ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh, what have you done
To earn their surprise?

Fragments left at the end of the day
A pile of blue that is soon swept away
Goodbye, blue girls, goodbye
Would it be too much to cry?

These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying, ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh, what have you done
To earn their surprise?
