[Verse]
    Em
I'm coming to see you, tomorrow sometime
      G                           D            Em
Gonna bring you some roses, gonna tear off the vines
      Em
Gonna talk to the wind that blows through the trees
G                         D          Em
Kiss you like always from down on my knees

      C                       G
Gonna ask you some questions, get no replies
C                           A
Wipe all the tears, falling down from my eyes
           Em                   D           Em
'Cause the one that I wanted, I never could know
G                  D  Em
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
G                  D  Em
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow

      Em
Gonna park in the street, gonna open the gate
G                      D          Em
Walk to the spot where you always wait
        Em
I'll be shaking my head like I usually do
           G                          D             Em
'Cause the name and the dates tell me nothing about you

         C                      G
But I'll sit in the shadows and let you explain
C                      A
All of the sadness and all of the pain
       Em                       D               Em
Did it all seem so hopeless you just had to let go?
G                  D  Em
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
G                  D  Em
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow

[Chorus]
       D              Em
Mysterious ... Mysterious
       D              Em
Mysterious ... Mysterious

[Verse]
         Em
Yeah I'm coming to see you, but I really can't stay
G                           D         Em
There's just a few things I needed to say
     Em
Like why were you hiding so much of yourself?
G                       D        Em
Why were you living for somebody else?

       C                          G
Well I know that I've always been looking for you
    C                      A
But lately it's not such a hard thing to do
          Em                      D       Em
'Cause it seems like inside every woman I know
          G                  D  Em
There's a girl of mysterious sorrow
  G                  D  Em
A girl of mysterious sorrow

[Chorus]
       D              Em
Mysterious ... Mysterious
       D       Em
Mysterious ... Sorrow ...
