* : Single Strum [Intro] C G D Em C G D [Verse 1]
C                                        G
In a dusty little town, where dreams were born,

           D                      Em
I saw her walking by, my heart was torn.

          C                         G
She had a smile that could light up the night,

     D
But fate had a different plan, try as I might.
[Chorus]
          Em              C               G
She's the girl I'll never hold, but she's in my soul,

 Em                  C                  D
A love that burns so deep, it takes its toll.

    Em         C                 G
I'll sing this song, and let the wind carry it far,

        Em              C                D
For the girl I'll never hold, my shining star.
[Verse 2]
        C                     G
She had hair like a sunset, a heart full of grace,

    D                             Em
Her laughter echoed through that old country place.

    C                              G
But distance stood between us, like a mountain high,

   D
I watched her fade away, with tears in my eyes.
[Chorus]
          Em              C               G
She's the girl I'll never hold, but she's in my soul,

 Em                  C                  D
A love that burns so deep, it takes its toll.

    Em         C                 G
I'll sing this song, and let the wind carry it far,

        Em              C                D
For the girl I'll never hold, my shining star.
[Bridge]
    C                                D
Now I roam these empty fields, under the moonlit sky,

  C                                    D
I wonder if she hears my voice, as the days go by.

  C                                   D
I hope she's found her happiness, wherever she may be,

     C                              D
But I can't help but wonder, if she ever thinks of me.
[Chorus]
          Em              C               G
She's the girl I'll never hold, but she's in my soul,

 Em                  C                  D
A love that burns so deep, it takes its toll.

    Em         C                 G
I'll sing this song, and let the wind carry it far,

        Em              C                D
For the girl I'll never hold, my shining star.

          Em              C               G
She's the girl I'll never hold, but she's in my soul,

 Em                  C                  D
A love that burns so deep, it takes its toll.

    Em         C                 G
I'll sing this song, and let the wind carry it far,

        Em              C                D
For the girl I'll never hold, my shining star.
[Outro]
   C*                          G*
So here's my heartache, poured into these words,

  D*                                 Em*
A tribute to a love that could never be heard.

         C*                      G*
But I'll keep on singing, as the years unfold,

        D*
For the girl I'll never hold, forever untold.
