G                          C            G 
Well the first time that I saw her 
C                            G 
Standing in the middle of the road 
C                 G 
Eyes as bright as Christmas lights 
C       G              D 
Wearing someone else’s clothes 
G                 C 
I did my best to ignore her 
    C                       G 
But Ignoring my best pretty soon 
C                   G 
Spent the night all tangled tied 
G                    D             G 
In an armchair in my friends front room.
