Suzanne Vega – Neighborhood Girls (Guitar)

G            Gadd#11
 We had our neighborhood girl, she

Gadd11                        G*
Used to hang out, in front of McKinsey's Bar

            G                          Gadd#11
And we were interested in her, and her clientele

        Gadd11  G*
We just wonder where she's gone

         G*                          G  Gadd#11  Gadd11  G*
Oh she's gone, yes, she's gone, gone, gone

C           Am          G    C Am G   C Am G   C Am G
 Yes, she's gone, gone, gone

G                      Gadd#11
 I think you know your neighborhood girl, she

Gadd11                        G*
Lives on my street, now, with eyes of ice

     G                                    Gadd#11
I've seen her in the morning, when she is walking in the sun

    Gadd11                    G*
And I always thought that she looked kind of nice

    G                     Gadd#11
She spoke to me once at a party, I think

      Gadd11                       G*
And I thought at the time that she had had too much to drink

            G                     Gadd#11
Because she said to me, there's a backbone gone

         Gadd11               G*           C Am G   C Am G
And I've got to get it back before going on

                       G                    Gadd#11
Well your neighborhood girl seems to have resigned

                       Gadd11                      G*
She was looking out at people from the back of her mind

                    G                    Gadd#11
And before she went off she spoke to me again

                Gadd11                      G*
She came up and said you have the eyes of a friend

              G                        Gadd#11
And there's a razor's edge that I have lost somewhere

            Gadd11                    G*
And I would like it back so if you've seen it anywhere

          G                           Gadd#11
I've been out for a while but I'll be back in a bit

          Gadd11                    G*                       C Am G   C Am G
I am just walking through the smoke finding out if this is it

             G                     Gadd#11
Because I've got this feeling that things are going grey

        Gadd11                          G*
And I'd like to hear a straight line to help me find my way

G            Gadd#1    Gadd11       G*
 I looked at her and I did not know what to say

C        Am         G   C Am G   C Am G   C Am G
 She had long black hair

G                    Gadd#11
 Must be a different neighborhood girl

       Gadd11                            G*
'Cause ours had blonde hair, in front of McKinsey's Bar

            G                         Gadd#11
And we were interested in her and her clientele

        Gadd11
We just wonder where she's gone

         G*                          G  Gadd#11  Gadd11  G*
Oh she's gone, yes, she's gone, gone, gone

C           Am          G    C Am G   C Am G   C Am G
 Yes, she's gone, gone, gone
