Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

/ A - - - / - - - - / G - - - / C - - - / x2

I saw her, yeah I saw her

 With a black tongue tied round the roses

A fist pounding on a vending machine

 Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger

With a noose she could hang from the sun

 And point it out with the dark sunglasses

Walking crooked down the beach

 She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching

Chorus

And I know I'm gonna steal her eye--she doesn't even know it's wrong

And you know I'm gonna make it die--take her where her soul belongs

I know I'm gonna steal her eye-- nothing that I wouldn't try

Hey my sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

My sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

I saw her, yeah I saw her

 With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'

Calling out from a land-filled life

 Scrawling her name upon the ceiling

Throw a coin in the fountain of dust

White noise, her ears are ringing

Got a ticket for my midnight hanging

Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

Chorus

Hey my sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

My sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl

My sun-eyed girl

Hey my sun-eyed girl
