Here's Lloyd Cole's "Mannish Girl" - a non-album track on the
"Morning is Broken" CD5. Great song - should have been on
the album.
Intro D A Em7 G
D A
I used to be content to frown
Em7 G
But anything for money now
D A Em7 G
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
D A
I used to get drunk on Spanish wine
Em7 G
Well, now I'm drunk most all the time
D A Em7 G
I guess I've been to grateful for too long
*chorus*
F#m
So I sit around and wait
G
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
A G G/F# Em7
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
D A Em7 G
So I wait, hey hey
D A Em7 G
Yes I wait, hey hey
*verse 2 - same*
Well I had a girl in London town
She picked me up and spun me round
I guess she was a mannish kind of girl
I went away and I still don't know why
Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies
I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
*chorus -same*
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
So I wait, hey hey, hey hey
*verse 3 - same*
I used to be too big too crawl
Now I don't give a damn at all
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine
But now I'm drunk most all the time
I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
*chorus - same - keep repeating D A Em7 G over extra lines*
And so I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey
Yes I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey, hey hey
