====== A Girl In Port ======

||:

[comment=Start on [B]]

[>label=Chorus]
Let fall your [A]soft and swaying [E]skirt.
Let fall your [B]shoes. Let fall your [F#m]shirt.
I'm not the [A]ladykilling [E]sort
enough to [B]hurt [A] a girl in [E]port
[/label]

[comment=There is a [B] chord between certain verses. Listen for the timing.]

Marie's gone [A]blonde and lost a [E]stone. She lay on the [B]lawn, spun and a[F#m]lone.
And, when the [A]morning sun it [E]rose upon Ma[B]rie in her lacy [F#m]clothes,
it lit her [A]up, and she walked a[E]round the winding [B]streets of Camden [F#m]town.
She don't know [A]who she wants to [E]be, and if I [B]knew, I'd [A]tell Ma[E]rie.

[repeat=Chorus]

?And Cindy [A]tells me she's had [E]fun sitting back[B]stage, someone's plus [F#m]one.
?Up in her [A]room, the records [E]spin, needle in the [B]grooves that she's worn [F#m]thin.
?She lifts a [A]sleeve and she sees a [E]name, and she's got a [B]smile on her [F#m]face,
?and she's got a [A]story you can't [E]see: it's just bet[B]ween that [A]name and Cin[E]dy.

?And before [A]Holly made her [E]way over the [B]sea and far a[F#m]way --
?She's telling [A]me, inside her [E]car, driving us [B]back from the Crystal Corner [F#m]bar --
?"I lost it [A]there, I fell from [E]health, cut some fresh [B]pieces for my[F#m]self.
?And then, for a [A]second, something in [E]me said, 'Leave to[B]day. It's [A]time Ho[E]lly.'"

?Well, I'm a [A]weak and lonely [E]sort, though I'm not [B]sailing just for [F#m]sport.
?I've come to [A]feel, out on the [E]sea, these urgent [B]lives pressed against [F#m]me.
?I'm just a [A]guest. I'm not a [E]part, with my tender [B]head, with my easy [F#m]heart.
?These several [A]years out on the [E]sea have made me empty, cold, and [B]clear.
?Pour your[A]self into [E]me.

[repeat=Chorus]
