Chords

This KK classic is the only song I know that changes key six times. It starts in Am, and if you want to play along with the music, put a Capo on the first fret. The pick and strum style is used through out the song.

Intro:                                           CAPO on fret #1

Verse 1:

Am
See the little girl lost, walkin’ through this world alone.

                        E7                              Am
She ain’t lookin’ for a lover, she’s just lookin’ for a home.

Verse 2

G                                   F                  G
If you want more than sympathy then look for something else,

                                    F          G
‘Cause she’s not true to anyone not even to herself.

            C
She’ll have sixteen smilin’ strangers who are handin’ her a line,

            G
While she’s drawin’ dirty pictures on the black side of your mind.

       D                       C                             G
With a body she’ll let anybody hold, but the devil’s got her soul.

Chorus

D                             A
But if you take her, take her easy,

          G       A           D
Treat her gentle, she used to love me.

Verse 3

Bm
See the little girl lost, pleadin’ silently for help.

               F#7                                   Bm
Knowin’ no one understands her, she don’t understand herself.

Verse 4

A                                    G                    A
She’ll feed your hungry ego ‘til you think you’re quite a man,

                                             G                   A
But you’d better count your fingers when she turns loose of your hand.

              D
‘Cause you’re just a game she’s playin’ any way that she can win,

        A
And you ain’t about to touch her any deeper than her skin,

        E                   D                             A
In that body anybody can control, but the devil’s got her soul.

Chorus

E                             B7
But if you take her, take her easy,

          A       B7          E
Treat her gentle, she used to love me.
