Slim Dusty – Two Little Girls In Blue (Guitar)

    E                   A
An old man gazed at a photograph

      B                   E
In a locket he'd worn for years,

E                              A
His nephew then asked him the reason

          F#m                   B
why that picture had caused him tears,

       B
“Come listen,” he said,

           E
“and I'll tell you, lad,

   A                        B
a story that's strange but true:

      E                   A         F#m
Your father and I at the school one day

     E          B       E
met two little girls in blue.”

E            A       E
“Two little girls in blue, lad,

E                   A
two little girls in blue.

B                  E
They were sisters, we were brothers,

    F#m                   B
and learned to love them true.

E
One little girl in blue, lad,

    A                  F#m
Who won your father's heart,

  B
Became your mother,

    E          A
I married the other and

E            B       E
now we have drifted apart.”

E                             A
“That picture is one of those girls, he said;

   B                 E
To me she was once a wife.

   E
I thought her unfaithful,

         A
and we quarreled, lad,

      F#m                   B
Then parted that night for life.

   B                 E
A fancy of jealousy wronged a heart,

  F#m                     B
A heart that was good and true.

    E                 A         F#m
No better girls ever lived than they,

E                 B       E
Those two little girls in blue."

E            A       E
“Two little girls in blue, lad,

E                   A
two little girls in blue.

B                  E
They were sisters, we were brothers,

    F#m                   B
and learned to love them true.

E
One little girl in blue, lad,

    A                  F#m
Who won your father's heart,

  B
Became your mother,

    E          A
I married the other and

E            B       E
now we have drifted apart.”
