^D Last December ^Dm9 I met a girl, ^Fmaj7 she took a likin' to ^C me
Said she loved me, ^Am7 but she didn't know the ^D meanin' of the word
^D She imagined ^Dm9 love to be grand, me ^Fmaj7 holdin' her hand and
^C Wisperin' sweet things ^Am7 and, cooin' softly like a ^D songbird
^D Then one mornin' ^Dm9 she came to me, with a ^Fmaj7 tear in her eye and a
^C Sigh on her breath Lord ^Am7 she said, "Hon, I'm ^D heavy with child"
^D I said "God damn girl ^Dm9 can't you see, that I'm ^Fmaj7 breakin' my back
Just ^C tryin' to keep my head above ^Am7 water, and it's ^D turnin' me wild
^D Cinderella ^G can't you see, ^A don't want your ^D company
^D You better leave this mornin' ^G leave today,
^A take your love and your ^G child ^D away
^D No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; ^Dm9 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
^Fmaj7 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; ^C No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;
^Am7 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; ^D No, no, no, no, no
^D Woh, woh, woh...etc. ^Am7 Woh, woh, woh, ^D no
^D Rockin' chair on the ^Dm9 front porch, and I'm ^Fmaj7 thinkin' about all ^C the
things that I did as a young ^Am7 man, now that I'm ^D old
^D I remember ^Dm9 her and the boy, did he ^Fmaj7 have all the toys and the ^C joys
That a young man ^Am7 should have, before he ^D gets too old
^D Cinderella ^G couldn't you see, ^A I didn't want your ^D company
Sh ^G oulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child...
away ^D
