       G
I said howdy there lady

     C            G
This sure is some party

     C          G
I've never seen anything

     D
Like this before

         G
She said howdy there honey

     C           G
It's just barely started

       C                 G
But if you think this is something

     D
Just stand here some more

         G
Then she looked at me

         C            G
Then she laughed at me

                    D
Then she lifted her glass to me

        G                C       G
And the rest they say is history 
G D G
            G
I said that girl in the corner

C            G
She looks so pretty

       C         G
Oh the girls all around her

    D
She makes 'em look plain

G
Lady I need a drink

      C         G
Can I bring you another

    C            G
I'm hoping these bubbles

     D              G
They might know her name

         G
Well she looked at me

         C            G
Then she laughed at me

                    D
Then she lifted her glass to me

        G                C       G
And the rest they say is history 
G D G {colb}
    G
But when I returned

    C           G
Champagne in my hands

C               G
There stood two strangers

      D
Where we both did stand

        G
And the lady was gone

        C            G
And the evening wore on

        C           G
And the girl in the corner

    D       G
Was never alone

        G
But she looked at me

        C         G
And she smiled at me

                        D
But she turned her eyes away from me

        G                C       G
And the rest they say is history   
G D G
G
Tim he was tall

    C         G
And Susan was smart

    C           G
And Francis she looked

       D
Like a fine work of art

G
Melissa was sad

    C             G
But that made her sweet

    C       G
And Dan and Elaine

        D
Had the world at their feet

G
Debra had Pliny

C        G
Lisa had Tony

        C           G
And the girl in the corner

             D
She could've had anybody

G
Richard was cool

    C           G
And Tubb he was funny

    C              G
And the tarot card lady

        D          G
She had everyone's money
{colb}
     G
So I said my goodbyes

        C            G
When it came time to leave

    C           G
And as I walked out

        D
Someone pulled at my sleeve

         G                    C
She said honey we never did officially meet

C             G         D
But I sure am happy you came

              G
She said that girl in the corner

      C         G
She's more than pretty

    C                  G
And man you're not the first

        D
To look over her way

    G
But if you still wanted

  C          G
I could introduce you

    C                     G
But you never will be the same

         G
Then she looked at me

         C            G
Then she laughed at me

                    D
Then she lifted her glass to me

        G                C       G
And the rest they say is history
