They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me
Recorded by Jimmy and the Boys 1981
Written by Tim Finn
Probably an completely unknown quantity outside Australia/NZ, this song was recorded by Jimmy and the Boys in
1981, but was originally a Split Enz reject penned by Tim Finn. You can now hear his demo version of it as it
was released many years later on a compilation called 'Other Enz: Split Enz & Beyond'.
God bless the internet and all who sail in her, eh?
F# F#7
I can't sleep at night
B Bm
Keep seeing men all dressed in white
F# G#m C# F# F#7
And they won't let my girlfriend talk to me
D
I said what's going on you're just showing off
D
Well I'm cracking down on your cracking up
B
And she up and left it was lunacy
A D
So they locked her up threw away the key
E E7
In the name of modern medicine verily
F# F#7
And there's nothing wrong with her
B Bm
That a dose of me won't cure
F# G#m C# F# F#7
But they won't let my girlfriend talk to me
D
I'm gonna batter down all the hospital walls
D
Make them feel just about this tall
B
Going barreling through the corridors
A D
Charging through the canteen
E E7
They're gonna feel so mean mean mean
F# F#7
I'm not asking for much
B Bm
But I feel so out of touch
F# G#m C# F# F#7
And they won't let my girlfriend talk to me
F# F
They won't let her talk
F# F F# F#7
Won't let her talk to me
F# F
They won't let her talk
F# F F# F#7
Won't let her talk to me
D
They got her now they got her good
D
They said they'd do everything they could
B
I don't know why I barely see
A D
How they they justify taking liberties
E E7
With my girlfriend and with me me me
F# F#7
I can't sleep at night
B Bm
Keep seeing men all dressed in white
F# G#m
And they won't let my girlfriend
