Martin Newell,
from "The Greatest Living Englishman"
@@Green-Gold Girl of the Summer
Em G Am B7 Em G Am B7
You would live so fast til your time was past, lonely runner
with a look so fine you could turn dark time into colour
Cmaj7 B7
And a garland just for a day
Em A
til the cheers had faded away
Cmaj7 B E G
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
Do the stars crash down to the cold hard ground any number?
(no one there to stop them falling)
As I watch the light in the showbiz night and I wonder
(do I hear a lost boy calling)
from a windswept place on a hill
I will raise my glass to you still
and the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
B7
As change follows change
G F
And the west wind drags another ship down
B7
And down
You would live so fast til your time was past lonely runner
with a look so fine you could turn dark time into colour
And a garland just for a day
til the cheers had faded away
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
