Tom: G
D Am
The pretty girl who played the cello
Em C
What was her name? What was her name?
D Am
Particulars can slip away
G C
Pictures etched upon the brain. Whooah-oooh
Em G
Like her long blonde hair and her big thick braid
Em C
Long low notes that took years to fade
Am
Years to fade
[Chorus]
D G
She was handsome, she was pretty
Am G
She probably moved to New York City
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D
She probably rides the downtown F train
Am G
Dates a boy that’s half her age
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
[Verse 2]
D Am
Picked a squeaky violin to play with
C
But I can’t really play. No, I can’t really play
D Am
I think I wished for something deeper
C G
Because high notes won’t keep her. They’ll never keep her
Em G
With her long blonde hair and her big thick braid
Em C
Long low notes that took years to fade
Am
Years and years to fade
[Chorus]
D G
She was handsome, she was pretty
Am G
I made my way to New York City
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
[Instrumental Break]
Em G Em C Am
[Bridge]
D
I bet she joined the philharmonic
Am G
Got herself a nice apartment
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D G
Sometimes I ride the downtown F train
Am G
Would I recognize her anyway?
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
D C G
What was her name? What was her name?
