Subject: CRD Lloyd Cole's "Ice Cream Girl"

Here's an attempt at Lloyd Cole's "Ice Cream Girl" off
his first solo album.  I'm not sure about the A chord with
a ? after it - any help appreciated.  Also, the lyrics might be
suspect.  He only plays the opening riff in the first
verse, but I've put the chords in anyway. During the first
part of the first, its kind of a funky rhythm on an D - listen to
the record for details. Capo at the 3rd fret.

Riff A played through out verses

D
Maybe I'm a little old fashioned
Maybe you're a little unkind
Maybe I'm a little impatient
Well come see about mine

                      G
You won't give me your number
                   A
Won't give me your time
                    D
Said meet me on the corner
                    A?
And theres still no sign

D
Maybe I'm a little outdated
Maybe a little out of time
To believe your heart is in the right place
                             G
Despite what you're doing to mine

                             A
That why I'm standing on the corner

                    D        A?
Lookin like I don't care


*chorus*
            G          A                  D
You want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails

              G                  A
And leave the loniest boy in the western world

E                          G
Cruisin the streets for an ice cream girl


*verse 2 - same as first*
I feel like a shady politician
Trying to sell a broken down car
Silly sleeping virgin princess
You know that's not what you are
Do I have to feel this small
Before you play ball

Maybe I lack sophistication
Maybe a little unrefined
So my credit ain't to good
We'll call a dollar a dime

You won't give me your number
Won't give me your time
I'm standing on the corner
And theres still no sign

*chorus - same as last one*
You want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails
And leave the loniest boy in the western world
Cruisin the streets for an ice cream girl

*solo* -  over verse chords

*chorus - same as last one*
You want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails
And leave the loniest boy in the western world
Cruisin the streets for an ice cream girl
