[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Eng
lish girls are pretty when they play [C]guitar
[Gm]Crazy like a [G]day just breaking
I ain't sure [C]what for
[G]Ain't got a mother or a father
or a place [C]to fall
She's got a [Gm]brother in the blues,
But he doesn't know the [G]blues at all
You [D]said you didn't love me,
it was right on time
[C]I was just about to tell you, but ok, alright
Said [D]you didn't love me,
you didn't want [G]a thing
[C]English girls can be so [D]mean
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G][C]
She's [G]got [C]pretty eyes as
a pair of jew[G]els[C]
Fall[Gm]ing down the Camden
Like a [C]couple drunken criminals
[G]She[C] had a [G]messy bedroom[C]
on the edge [G]of town[C]
I had [G]never been good enough
[C]To ever keep [G]around
You [D]said you didn't love me,
it was right on time
[C]I was just about to tell you, but ok, alright
Said [D]you didn't love me,
it didn't mean [G]a thing
[C]English girls can be so mean
But, [Am]oh, l[Bm]ook at yo[C]u now
[Am]Oh, [Bm]look at yo[C]u now[Am]
Mmm, [Bm]best I've ever [C]seen
Just a [D]tall drink of water
Just pourin' down [C]the sink
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[C]Tall dri[G]nk of water,
she's a [C]Norfolk water[G]fall[C]
[G]Little daybreaker, she's [C]shooting
like a cannon [G]ball[C]
[G]Crazy like a rocket when
You're [C]coming through my radi[G]o,[C]
Kep[G]t me in your bed
till the [C]winter time
Through [G]the fall[C]
Fall [G]time come,
and I [C]guess my little bird [G]can sing[C]
[G]Come on Elizabeth, [C]come on Bethany
[G]Com[C]e o[G]n forever,
I'm [C]tired and I want [G]to sleep[C]
My [G]little dove flew away, and I'm
[C]guessing
She was done [G]with me[C]
You [D]said you didn't love me,
it was right on time
[C]I was just about to tell you,
but ok, alright
[D]Said you didn't love me,
That you didn't want a thing
[C]English girls can be so mean
But, [Am]oh, l[G]ook at y[C]ou now
[Am]Oh, [Bm]look at you n[C]ow[Am]
Mmm, [Bm]best I've [C]ever seen
Just a [D]tall drink of water
Just pourin' [G]down [C]the sink
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Kissed me on the lips but my
heart just [C]slept it [G]off[C]
Word[Gm]s may move,
But they're [C]never movin'
fast [G]enough[C]
Cel[G]ebrate the differences
I'll celebrate the songs you [C]sing
[G]Just three words, my love
[Am]You meant [G]everything[C][D]
[Am]You meant [G]everything[C][D]
[Am]You meant [C]everything[D]
[Am]You meant [G]everything[C]
