Intro
[C] [F] [C]
Verse 1
[C]I thought I knew the girl so well
[F]If she was sad I [C]couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the signs
[F]So if she's gone the fault is [C]mine
I [Dm]know, I know a whole lot of little [C]things
And [Dm]even though I confess them one by [C]one
She would still be[Gsus4] gone[G]
Chorus
Her eyes are [C]blue, her hair is long
In [F]'64 she was [G]born in Baton [C]Rouge
Her favorite song is "In My [F]Life"
I [G]memorized her every [Am]move
I knew her [C]books, her car, her [F]clothes
But I [C]paid no [F]attention to what [G]mattered [F]most[C]
Verse 2
I never [C]asked, she never said
[F]And when she cried I turned [C]my head
[C]She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
[F]That made them easy to [C]ignore
And I [Dm]know, I know I missed the forest for the [C]trees
And all I [Dm]have to show oh when she walked out the [C]door
The cold facts and nothing[Gsus4] more[G]
Chorus
Her eyes are [C]blue, her hair is long
In [F]'64 she was [G]born in Baton [C]Rouge
Her favorite song is "In My [F]Life"
I [G]memorized her every [Am]move
I knew her [C]books, her car, her [F]clothes
But I [C]paid no [F]attention to what [G]mattered [F]most[C]
Chorus
Her eyes are [C]blue, her hair is long
In [F]'64 she was [G]born in Baton [C]Rouge
Her father's tall, her mother's [F]gone
She moved out [G]west when she was [C]two
The way she [C]laughed, the way she [F]loved
Oh my [G]God what did I [C]do
Fade
[C] [F] [G]
