Intro: G G5 C Am7 Dsus4 D
G G/F# Em G7M
And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am7 Am7/D
A not so very ordinary girl or name
G G/F# Em G7M C G
But who's to blame for a love that wouldn't bloom
C7M G G7M
For the hearts that never played in tune
Am7 G/B C G/B
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Am7 G/B C Em9 Am D7sus D7
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing
G G/F# Em G7M
And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am7 Am7/D
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
G G/F# Em G7M C G
But where was June? No it never came around
C7M G G7M
If it did, it never made a sound
Am7 G/B C G/B
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Am7 G/B C Em9 G
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
B7 Em
And God, I miss the girl
G C
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Cm G
Closer to her than to me
G G/F# Em G7M
And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am7 Am7/D
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
G G/F# Em G7M C G
I loved her name. Wished that I had found a way
C7M G G7M
And the reasons that would make her stay
Am7 G/B C G/B
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
Am7 G/B C Em9 G
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
B7 Em
Oh, how I miss the girl
G C
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Cm G
She had been mine for a day
