[Verse 1]
[G]The[D]re's a certai[G]n girl
I've been after a long, time
I can't tell you
I can't reveal her name till I get her
I can't tell you [Em]but one day
I'll wake up and say well just to have you
I'll be your
There's a [G]certain girl
I've been af[D]ter a long, long [G]time
I can't tell ya
There's a certain chick
[D]I've been [G]sweet on since [D]I met h[G]er
[D]I can't t[G]ell ya
[D]Don't [G]ask me her name,
[D]I can't rev[G]eal it until I[D] ge[G]t her
[D]I c[G]an't tell ya
[Em]I've tried time [Bm]and time again
[Em]But we end up as n[Bm]othing
but friend[E]s
[Em]There's a [G]certain girl
I've been in [D]love with a long, [G]time
I can't tell you the [C]worst person I know
[Am]Moth[C]er -in -[Em]law,[C] mother -in -law[Am]
[Em]She [G]worr[C]ies me so [Am]not
[G]Mother -in [C]-law, mother -in [Am]-law
Every [C]time I open [E]my mouth
She steps [Am]in and tries to [C]put me [Am]out[D]
How could she stoop so low,
[G]Mother -in -la[C]w, Mother -in -la[Am]w,
[Em]Mother [G]-in [C]-law,
Mother -in [G]-law[Eb][Bb][Eb][D]
Working in the coal mine,
going down, down, down
Working in the coal mine,
about to slip down
Working in the coal mine,
going down, down, down
Workin' in the coal mine,
about to slip [E]down
[A]It's five o 'clock in the morn[D]ing,
[E]I'm [A]already [Em]up a[D]nd gone[E]
[A]Lord, I'm so [D]tired,[G][E]
[A]how long can this go on?
Just [D]workin' in the coal mine,
goin' down, down, down
Workin' in the coal mine,
about to slip down
Workin' in the coal mine,
goin' down, down, down
Workin' in the coal mine
There's a [G]certain girl
I've been in love with a long, time
What's her name?
Can't tell you
I can't reveal [D]her name [G]till
I make up mine
What's her name?
Can't tell you
[Em]I've tried time and time again
But we end up as [E]nothing but friends
[Em]There's [G]a certain girl
I've been in [D]love with a long, long [G]time
I can't tell [D]you[G][C][C#m]
[E][Fsus4][Eb][F][G]
So good, a medley.
Thank you. Thank you.
[G]Thank you. Thank you.
