[D] So this song is about, this is a song I wrote [A] maybe like a [D] year or two ago.
It was about getting a haircut.
[A]
[B] [A] I'm not sure that I've done that [Am] again since then.
[D] It's about, [Bm] actually about the lady that cuts my hair.
She works at a little shop on University and she does such a good job.
She's like done in five minutes [D] and it's always a great haircut and it's really nice and cheap.
And then one day I went back and I, [G] and she wasn't there [D] and I [Em] got a [D] haircut [Am] from another
[D] guy who was there and it just wasn't the same.
And so this song is, this song's called Getting a [C#] Haircut.
[D]
I was hurt, she [A] never told me [D] she was leaving.
Like a fool she led me on [G] and [D] on, believing that [A] a man could fix his loving [C#] soul.
[Bm] Spinning [G] stripes on the barber's pole and [D] now I'm crew cut, [A] at on Main Street [D] all along.
When I dream [A] I had hair [D] down to the sidewalk.
Then she sat me in her [A] chair, began [D] to small talk.
[A] She forgot my name [A#m] again.
[G] She said it goes to show how scarce you've [A] been.
In [D] our absence [A] is a seed I [D] fear I've sown.
[E] [F] [F#]
[G] Still I dare not say I love [D] her, for fear I'd undersell it.
What if [G] a lie would bring her back to me?
[D] The good Lord [A] knows I'd tell it.
[G] [D] Now the butcher's done [A] his worst.
I know that [D] time heals all, [G] but first things first [D] I gotta find her.
[A] Pray that she ain't [D] gone for good.
So then in all the local [A] clip shops [D] I went searching.
And the [E] word [A] around the circuit is she [D] was working.
[A] When the strip mall changed she leased [Em] a station, [Bm] contract [G] pending her [D] probation.
I could almost [A] feel her clippers on [D] my cheek.
And it was storming [A] by the [B] afternoon [D] I found her.
She was counting out her [A] tips behind [D] the counter.
[A]
With locked eyes through the [A#] windowpane, [Bm] a [G] bouquet drowning [D] in the rain.
She said, excuse me son, [B] remind me what's your [D] name?
[F] [F#] [G] Still I dare not say I love [D] her, for fear I'd undersell it.
[G] What if a lie would keep her [D] here with me?
The good Lord [A] knows I'd [Em] tell it.
[G] [D] Through the laughter [A] and the tears.
[D] She's an artist buddy with [G] a set of [D] shears.
And now I've found her, [A] glad that she ain't [G] gone for good.
[D] That's right I've found her, [Am] glad that she ain't [G] gone.

[B] [A] [D]
