Standard (EADGBE)

way on the other side of the hudson

  deep in the bosom of suburbia

i met a young girl she sang mighty fine

  "tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".

standing by the water fall in paramus park

 she was working for the friends of B.A.I.

 she was collecting quarters in a paper cup

 she was looking for change (and so was i).

she was a jewish girl i fell in love with her

  she wrote her number on the back of my hand

 i called her up i was all out of breath i said

 "come hear me play in a rock and roll band".

i took a shower and put on my best blue jeans

 i picked her up in my new VW van

 she wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath

 i said "hi" she said "yeah i guess i am."

a--riel (aaa...)a--riel ...

we had a little time we were real hungry

 we went to dairy queen for something to eat

she had an onion ring she had a pickle

 she forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat.

i had a gig in the american legion hall

 it was a dance for the volunteer ambulance corps

 she was sittin in a corner against the wall

 she would smile and i melted all over the floor.

a--riel (aaa...)a--riel..

(sax solo)

i took her home with me (we) watchin' tv

 annette funicello and some guy goin' steady

 i started foolin' around with the vertical hold

 we got the munchies and i made some spaghetti.

we sat and talked into the night

 but channel two was signin' off the air

 i found the softness of her mouth

 we made love to bombs bursting in air...

a--riel (aaa...)a--riel...

a--riel (aaa...)a--riel...

 "tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".

 "tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".
