Song: Oh Girl
By:   Paul Young

[intro:]   A  {8 bars, harmonica enters at 4th bar}  

[verse:1]
A
Oh, girl
            C#m
I'd be in trouble if you left me now
  D
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
(C#m)Bm               E7
   I  just don't know how

[verse: 2]
A
Oh, girl
 C#m
(How I depend on you)
 How I depend on you
    D
To give me love    when I need it
(C#m)Bm                           E7sus4
    Right on time you would always be

[bridge:]
C                           G
  All my friends call me a fool
             A                         E
         ("let the woman take care of you")
They say, "let the woman take care of you"
       C                                  G    
So I, try to be hip   and think like the crowd
A                                    E7
                                       ( oh-oh-oh   )
   But even the crowd can't help me now, oh-oh-oh

[verse: 3]
A
Oh, girl
          C#m
        (what am I gonna do)
Tell me, what am I gonna do
D
I know I got a guilty face
(C#m)Bm                      E7
    Girl, I feel so out of place,   oooooh  oooh  yeah

[solo: harmonica]  2 X  {over verse chords}

	(1: don't know where to go, who to see, ohhhh)

[bridge:]  {Paul Young version only does half of the bridge}
C                         G
All my friends call me a fool
                    A                  E
         ("let the woman take care of you")
They say, "let the woman take care of you"
       C                                 G    
So I, try to be hip and think like the crowd
A                                   E
                                       (oh-oh-oh    ....)
  But even the crowd can't help me now, oh-oh-oh

[verse: 4]
A
Oh, girl
   C#m
(I guess I better go)
 I guess I better go
       D
I can save myself a lot of useless tears
C#m (Bm)                             E7
     Girl I've gotta get away from here

[verse: 5]
A
Oh, girl
             C#m
          (double if you leave me now)
Pain will  double if you leave me now
       D
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
             (C#m)Bm                       E7
(and I don't)    And I don't, I don't know how
