Rod Stewart – Julia (Guitar)

G
Here's a song I sing for you about a girl that I once knew

C
Julia

G
She lived in a great big house with golden gates where servants bowed

    C
For Julia

Em                            C
Unashamed I'd sit outside and wait for hours

Em                                    C
Hoping that she'd climb down from her ivory towers

     Em                              C            D
This beautiful girl as pretty as any flower had a hold on me

G
Upstairs in my lonely room I would dream of being cool

     C
With Julia

G
I lived in obsessive bliss carefully planning my first kiss

    C
Off Julia

Em                            C
One day I was feeling awfully brave and asked her

Em                         C
If she'd like to come on a date, I just had to

Em                                 C                D
She bent down and gently kissed my face and said oh someday

G  D  Em  D     C          Am
Oh my god how I loved this girl

    G  D   Em   D         C          Am
But no one ever said that love could burn

G
Waiting by the phone for days for a call that never came

C
From Julia

    G
But love is cruel and has no wings but I still hear angels sing

    C
For my Julia

Em                    C
I remember being overwhelmed by her prettiness

   Em                           C
If only she would look my way I might be in business

   Em                             C               D
To tell the truth she didn't even know I existed, Julia

G
Summer took her pretty clothes, winter came in grey and snow

C
Oh Julia

    G
And I found out she'd moved away, her best friend said to the north country

C
  Julia

Em                               C
Now all this happened many years ago my friend

Em                            C
Regrettably there is no happy end, oh no

Em                     C         D     G
She was 14, I was only 10, oh my Julia
