Ten Girls Ago lyrics

Intro: E A E A E

E A E
Buster turned round to me And said hey kid you must be joking
E A C#m
You got an attitude You think you're funny but you're choking hey hey
A E
Back every word that comes out of your mouth (Ten girls ago)
E A B
You thought you had something to laugh about

CHORUS
E A E A
But it was just a crazy thing The wrong act in the wrong circus ring
E A E A
The sweet pain of a needle's sting Ten girls ago, ten girls ago

Eddie and Burt sneaked out the back And threw up before every scene
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/graham_parker/ten_girls_ago.html ]
The camera rolled and my life Flashed before me just as if in a dream
A dog was leading me round on a chain Ten girls ago
I kicked it but I ended up in pain

CHORUS 2
But it was just a crazy thing Flying an airplane made of string
Sweet pain of a needle's sting Ten girls ago

BRIDGE
C#m A B C#m7
Wrap it up in a paper cup Put it in a bag for me
C#m A B B7
Get yourself another dog Ah you're barking up the wrong tree

Guitar break Same as intro modulated to F# B F#

And now I stand a hope in hell
Of not ending up in the bottom of a well
A place where all lost souls must go
When they don't know where their life is going
And now life glows with a life of it's own Ten girls ago
I would have told you my chances were blown

(then) CHORUS I (then) CHORUS 2
