Song: Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
By:   Looking Glass

[intro:]   | C#m | A  | C#m | A  |  E | B  |  A G#m F#m   B [hit} B {hit}  
                                            {bass line walk down A G# F# B}
                                             (do, do, do...)

[verse: 1]  {two beats of each chord in each bar}
          E    G#m    F#m     C#m  
There's a Port   on a Western bay  
       F#m     A          D       A  
And it serves   a hundred ships a day
        E      G#m        F#m  C#m  
Lonely sailors   pass the time away
|   F#m    A        |  E        |
And talk about their homes

[verse: 2]
               E  G#m       F#m    C#m
And there's a girl  in this harbor town
         F#m   A          D      A
And she works    laying whiskey down
           E   G#m       F#m    C#m
They say Brandy   fetch another round
   | F#m         A         |  E      |
She serves them whiskey and wine


[chorus:]  {same as the intro}
                 C#m             A
The sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
       C#m                 A
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
     E                    B              A G#m F#m   B B 
Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea (do, do, do...)

[verse: 3]
E      G#m         F#m    C#m
Brandy   wears a braided chain
         F#m    A                  D        A
Made of finest    silver from the north of Spain
   E      G#m     F#m      C#m
A locket    that bears the name
       F#m       A    | E       |
Of the man that Brandy loves

[verse: 4]
    E    G#m     F#m     C#m
He came    on a summer's day
         F#m   A      D    A
Bringing gifts  from far away
       E    G#m           F#m     C#m
But he made  it clear he couldn't stay
   F#m    A      | E      |
No harbor was his home

[chorus:]  
                 C#m             A
The sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
       C#m                 A
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
     E                    B              A G#m F#m   B B 
Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea (do, do, do...)

[bridge:]
     C#m            B
Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes
        A                  B
When he told his sailor's stories
          C#m             B
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
     A               B
She saw it's raging glory
    C#m           D
But he had always told the truth
        C#m            A
Lord he was an honest man
   | E             | B       |  A G#m F#m   B B 
And Brandy does her best to understand (do, do, do...)


[verse:]
   E     G#m         F#m       C#m
At night   when the bars close down
F#m    A                  D      A
Brandy   walks through a silent town
     E    G#m        F#m     C#m
And loves   a man who's not around
    F#m       A        | E       |
She still can hear him say 

[chorus:]
                   C#m             A
She hears him say Brandy you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
       C#m                 A
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
        E               B           A G#m F#m   B B 
But my life my love my lady is the sea (do, do, do...)

[coda:]
     C#m             A
Say Brandy you're a fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
       C#m                 A
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
        E               B           A G#m F#m   B B    E {finish}
But my life my love my lady is the sea (do, do, do...)
