[Cm]
[Bb] I've got a something cool
[Gm]
[Ab] It's a one year town
[Bb] And the sea gets me down
[Eb] And I'd like something cool
[Ab] My, it's nice
[Bb] To sit [Eb] down and rest a while
[Ab] Hey, you know, [Fm] it's a shame
I [Bb] can't think of your name
[Eb] But I remember [Gm] your smile
[Ab] Well, I don't ordinarily [Db] drink with [Eb] you
To [Gm] drink alone
[C] [A]
But you were so [D] nice to ask me
[Fm] To take me [G] from home
[Ab] Like my [Bb]
dress, I must confess
[Eb] Is very old
[G]
[Ab] But it's simple and [Eb] neat
And it's just [Bb] right for this heat
[Eb] And I will set my ferns for the cold
And [Fm] cigarettes, [Ab] no, I [Db] don't smoke them
Oh, [Eb] [B]
[C] [Cm] [Fm]
[Bb] I'm [Eb] mad
[Bb] You wouldn't imagine
That I once had a [Eb] house
With so many rooms
And I used to look at them [C] all
I [Fm] know you [Bb] wouldn't imagine
[Fm] But I had fifteen different guys
Who would beg and beg to take me
To [C] [Fm] the tree
[Ab] Oh,
[Bb] [Eb] for [C]
[Bb] me, well
[F] The guy is [C] [F] quite so handsome
[Cm] Quite, [F]
[Cm] [Bb] [Fm]
[Bb] [Gm] [Eb]
[Ab] well, I guess I almost [Eb] forgot
Cause [Bb] the weather's so [Eb] hot
I'm feeling so bad
[Fm] About a date
[Abm] Oh, [Ab] [A] [Eb]
[C] [F] it's just a guy
[Fm] Who stopped to buy me
[Bb] [Eb] [D] [D]
