• Song:

    Only A Girl

  • Artist:

    Randy Newman

Probably the easiest song to play off the Harps and Angels album, but no less great.

AShe's (x02220@1)only a girl

And her voice is peculiar
         E (022100@1)            E7And (020130@1)her eyes are strange
       EShe's (022100@1)prone to be willful
     E7You (020130@1)try to cheer her up some
            ABut (x02220@1)she's impervious to change

AShe (x02220@1)dresses in black all of the time
         E (022100@1)             E7Wears (020130@1)an orthopedic shoe
      E (022100@1)                E7 (020130@1)             AIt's (x02220@1)some sort of uglification thing that she's into
        AShe's (x02220@1)a hundred and ten
      A7Maybe (x02020@1)five foot five
    DShe (xx0232@1)don't eat meat
           DmBut (xx0231@1)she'll eat you alive
       AShe's (x02220@1)only a girl
           EBut (022100@1)she's big time
