A Girl in Port Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Let fall you[G]r soft and swaying ski[D]rt
Let fall [A]your shoes, let fall [Em]your shirt
I'm [G]not the lady-killing sort
[D]sort
[A]Enough [G]to hurt a girl in [A]port[D][A]

[Verse 2]
[A]
Marie's gone [G]blonde and lost [D]a stone
She lay on [A]her lawn, spun and [Em]alone
And when [G]the morning sun it [D]rose
Upon Mar[A]ie and her lacy [Em]clothes

[Verse 3]
Well, it lit her [G]up,
and she walked [D]around
The winding [A]streets of Camden [Em]Town
Well, she don't know
[G]who she wants [D]to be
And if I [A]knew I'd [G]tell Marie

[Verse 4]
[D]Let fall you[G]r soft and swaying ski[D]rt
Let fall [A]your shoes, let fall [Em]your shirt
I'm [G]not the lady-killing sort
[D]sort
Enough [A]to hurt [G]a girl in por[D]t
[A]

[Verse 5]
And Cindy [G]tells me she's had fun
[D]Sitting backsta[A]ge,
someone's plus [Em]one
Up in her [G]room the records [D]spin
Needle in [A]the grooves
that she's worn [Em]thin

[Verse 6]
Well, she lifts [G]her sleeve
and she sees [D]a name
And she's got [A]a smile on her [Em]face
And she's got [G]a story you can't [D]see
Well, that's [A]just between
[G]that name and Cindy
[D][A]

[Verse 7]
And before [G]Holly made her [D]way
Over the [A]sea and far [Em]away
She's telling [G]me inside her [D]car
Driving [A]us back from the
Crystal Corner [Em]bar

[Verse 8]
I lost her [G]there, I fell from [D]hell
Cut some fresh [A]pieces from
my[Em]self
And then for a [G]second something in [D]me
Said leave [A]today, it's [G]time,
[D]Holly, it's time
[A]

[Verse 9]
Oh, I'm a [G]weak and lonely [D]sort
Though [A]I'm not sailing
just for [Em]sport
I've come [G]to feel out on the [D]sea
These urgent [A]lives press again[Em]st me

[Verse 10]
I'm just [G]aghast, I'm not [D]apart
My tender [A]head with my easy [Em]heart
These several [G]years out on the [D]sea
Made me empty, cold [A]and clear
Pour your[G]self into [D]me

[Verse 11]
Let fall [G]your soft and swaying [D]skirt
Let fall [A]your shoes, let fall [Em]your shirt
I'm [G]not the lady-killing sort
[D]sort
Enough [A]to hurt [G]the girl [D]in [A]por[G]t[D][A]
