LYRIC SHEET                                     (casually, dreamy-eyed)

Gmaj
Oh, yeah--

Am7                                      D7


Gmaj7


Am7                                      D7
I once knew a lass,                      liked to smoke grass

Gmaj7
That perky face                          and those thighs

Am7                                      D7
I would memorize

Gmaj7


Am7                                      D7
And this girl,                           made my head whirl

Gmaj7
That's all there was

Am7                                      D7

Gmaj7
I had to have her

Am7                                      D7
It was kinda nice,                       chilled me like ice

Gmaj7
Wakin' up next to her                    Light in the windowsill, yeah . . .

Am7                                      D7
She was the one,                         wore her hair in a bun

Gmaj7
And worked in the garden,                she had a pail, oh yeah . . .

Am7                                      D7
She went shopping for clothes,           they were all old

Gmaj7
Down at Goodwill

Am7                                      D7

Gmaj7

Am7                                      D7

Am7                                      D7
Didn't like tv,                          just you and me, baby

Gmaj7
She was from the country

Am7                                      D7
She knew a little french,                got my monkeywrench

Gmaj7
And made some magic                      Can't find magic

Am7                                      D7

Am7                                      D7

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Of the 93.08.26 recording, there's two versions of the intro -- a long,
unedited one and a shorter one without all of the "let's see here -- what
kinda chords we got here" dialogue.  The chord pattern is the same for
this intro.

A 1987 Fender Stratocaser (stock pickups, rosewood neck, jumbo frets, Kahler
tremolo, cream colored) was also used, plugged directly into the board (a
Yamaha MT-120 4-track recorder).
