      G             A      Em     D
She?s interested in me

    G             A        Em     Bm
I?m interested in her

    A         G#m
But there?s a distance

     G              F
Each morning as she walks

    C      F        C
Our eyes exchange a thought

    F#                     E      D
Our hearts, an interest

     G               A     Em     D
I?ve seen her at the club

  G                A       Em     Bm
Expanding with the funk

    A        G#m
She looks so brilliant

    G                   F
She sticks close to her friends

    C        F     C
And when the music ends

    F#                     E
She is the Indian

    E       A        E        A
I?d like to meet the Elephant Girl

  E       A         E        A
I feel we know each other so well

     G         Bm       A         Bb
From eyes that meet the love they seek

Am
Interested to get close to you  (elephant girl)

I?m interested to meet

    G                  A   Em     Bm
The girl that looks at me

  A       G#m
I will be trying

    G             F
Her colour unlike mine

    C        F       C
Her hair the plaited vine

  F#                       E      D
I will be climbing

   G             A         Em     D
My leg is always pulled

   G                  A    Em     Bm
By friends who really would

    A        G#m
But say they wouldn?t

    G                 F
The joke?s against my heart

 C       F        C
Immediately she's barred

      F#                   E
Their hearts are wooden

    E       A        E        A
I?d like to meet the elephant girl

  E       A         E        A
I feel we know each other so well

She?s interested in me

    A        G#m
Her distance shortens

    G                 F
She walks towards the light

  C      F         C
I walk towards the lines

     F#                    E      D
That seem important

    G              A       Em     D
I?m counting up to ten

   G                A      Em     Bm
By five she's gone again

  A      G#m
Into the distance

     G            F
I'll try again to nudge my

C       F       C
Courage for the love

Without resistance
