Intro:
 
E  A  E  A  E  A 
Ooooooooh 

E 
Once a girl 
A 
In mommy’s world 
G#m                        A 
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs 
G#m                  F#m 
In her newly learned tongue 

E  A  E  A  E  A 
Ooooooooh 

E 
our girl 
A 
In this world 
G#m                        A 
Married to a stranger’s name 
G#m                    F#m 
Writing to him all the same 

E                    A 
Oh but where can she go 
        E      A 
If she’s going alone? 
E             A 
Where can she go 
        E       A 
If she’s going alone? 

E            A      G#m 
Where can she go to avoid 
          F#m 
The love goodbye? 

E  A  E  A  E  A 
Oooooooooh 

All the same 
F#m 
Letters answer letters 
           G#m 
In a round about way 
         A 
“Sweet darling” they commence, 
           F#m           E 
But she no longer feels that way 

           E 
Oh there’s not a soul 
        A 
In the streets below 
      G#m 
She's sitting by the window, 
     F#m 
Clinging to the phone 
   G#m 
Dialing endless numbers 
  F#m 
No reply 
      G#m    A 
Love goodbye. 

E  A  E  A  E  A 
Ooooooooh 

E                    A 
Oh but where can she go 
        E      A 
If she’s going alone? 
E             A 
Where can she go 
        E       A 
If she’s going? 

E                    A 
where can she go 
        E      A 
If she’s going alone? 
E    A 
She’s going alone 
E        A 
She’s going…
