[Intro]
G                      
■ Say tell me somethin'
            D7        G 
Hm Ain't ya scared of me
  G           
I ain't scared
         G                         
Hey your name Julie Julie somethin'
             D D7
Julie Jordan ■ ■ 


[Verse]
G Ab                             
■ You're a queer one Julie Jordan
Eb                                     
Ain't ya sorry that you didn't run away
                        Ab   
You can still go if you wanna
  Db            Eb             Ab     
I reckon that I care to choose to stay
    Ab                                         
You couldn't take my money if I didn't have any
Eb                              Ab  
And I don't have a penny that's true
                        Ab                   
And if I did have money you couldn't take any
                     Eb7            Ab 
'cause you'd ask and I'd give it to you
Am                       A7    
You're a queer one Julie Jordan
                    Db7       Gb           
Ain't ya ever had a fella you give money to
         Gb      Db7               
No Ain't ya ever had a fella at all
                         Db7                        
No Well ya must've had a fella you went walkin' with
            Abm7    
Yes Where'd you walk
        Dbsus4    Gb    
Nowhere special I recall
       Db7  
In the woods
Gb          
On the beach
        Db7     
Did you love him
Db                                   
No never loved no one I told you that
    Ab                                    
I'm never gonna marry if I was gonna marry
           Eb                        
I wouldn't have to be such a stickler
Ab                                             Eb                          Ab        
But I'm never gonna marry and a girl who don't marry's got to be much more particular
                            Fm                
Suppose I was to say to you that I'd marry you
                   Fm                      
You wouldn't marry anyone like me would you
C           C             
Yes I would if I loved you
                                         Eb
It wouldn't make any difference what you ■ 
        Bb7          
Even if I died for it
Eb7 Absus4 Bbsus4 Bb7
■   ■      ■      ■  
                                 Bb7         
How do you know what you'd do if you loved me
Db                        
How you'd feel or anything
        Db             
I don't know how I know
                                               C        
Huh Tis the same I know how I how it'd be if I loved you
                     G                       
When I worked in the mill weaving at the loof
                             Ebm7
I'd gaze absentminded at the roof
                                    Ebm                  
And half the time the shuttle would tangle in the threads
                       Ebm                
And the walk would get mixed with the woof
           Bb 
If I loved you
Bb           
But you don't
Bb        
No I don't
Eb                   
But somehow I can see
             Db      Ab
Just exactly how I'd be
Db               
■  If I loved you
                              F7  Ebm
Time and again I would try to say ■  
                    Db Fm   Db
All I'd want you to ■  know ■ 
   Db         
If I loved you
Db                                
Words wouldn't come in an easy way


[Chorus]
          C7      Db    
'round in circles I'd go
Bbm        Ebm          D7            
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
Db                           B    Bbsus4 Eb
■  I'd let my golden chances pass me     by
Ab   Db            
Soon you'd leave me
                    F7             
Off you would go in the mist of day
Ebm   C            
Never never to know
      Db    Fm  Db Fm
How I loved you ■  ■ 
Ebm  Bbm   Ebm Ebm7 Ebm Ab7 Db
If I loved ■   ■    you ■   ■ 


[Intro]

[Verse]
  Db                   
I can smell 'em can you
    Db                                  
The blossoms their wind brings them down
Db                     
Ain't much wind tonight
   C         
Hm Hardly any
Am7                                          
You can't hear a sound not the turn of a leaf
                                   Bm7  Em
Nor the fall of a wave hitting the sand ■ 
Am7                Am                          
The tides creeping up on the beach like a thief
                                 G   
Afraid to be caught stealing the land
D    G                                
On a night like this I start to wonder
C            G   D G    
What life is all ■ about
    G                      C          G                     Am 
And I always say two heads are better than one to figure it out
Am7                 Am7       G      
I don't need you or anyone to help me
                              G     
I've got to figure it out for myself
         G                    
We ain't important what are we
G                            
A couple of specks of nothing
        G    
Look up there
C           C    Am          C               
■ There's a hell of a lot of stars in the sky
                 C                 Em   
And the sky's so big the sea looks small
        Am7                    
And two little people you and I
G                      
■ We don't count at all


[Chorus]
C                        Am                      
You're different alright ■  don't know what it is
                                       C            
You look up at me with that little kid face like you
         Em        
Like you trusted me
C                         
I wonder what it'd be like
C                                    
What Nothing I know what it'd be like


[Verse]
         C                          
It'll be awful I can just see myself
                  C                           
Kinda scrawny and frail and picking at my food
    Eb                      D  
And lovesick like any other guy
          Dm                                      
I'd throw away my sweater and dress up like a dude
                  D      Dm       
In a Dickey and a collar and a tie
   Bb         
If I loved you
        Bb   
But you don't
Bb        
No I don't
    Eb               
But somehow I can see
     Ab      Db      Ab
Just exactly how I'd be
Db               
■  If I loved you
                       Db        
Time and again I would try to say
Ebm          C7     Db   Fm Db
All I'd want you to know ■  ■ 
Db            
If I loved you
Fm7                           F7      
■   Words wouldn't come in an easy way
          C7          Db Bbm
'round in circles I'd go ■  
           Ebm7     D7                
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy


[Chorus]
Db                           B    Eb Ab
■  I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Db                 
Soon you'd leave me
    Db                             
Off you would go in the mist of day
      C     Db Fm  
Never never to know
Ebm Bbm   Ebm7     
■   How I loved you


[Verse]
     Ab7 Db       
If I ■   loved you
Bbm Db        Bbm      Ebm          
■   I'm not a fella to marry anybody
                                     D7        
Even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to
  D7      
I wouldn't
                     Db   
Don't worry about it Billy
Dbmaj7        Gb
Who's worried ■ 
B        Eb    Ab             Db           
■ You're right ■  about there being no wind
             Db                            
Blossoms are just coming down by themselves
                     Db    
Just their time to I reckon


[Chorus]
C7 Fm Db Fm Ebm7 Absus4
