Subject: Lloyd Cole -She's A Girl and I'm a Man

You'll have to listen to the album to play along to get it right for awhile.
Its kind of hard to sing and play at the same time.   Words are from memory so
they might not be exact.

Intro

D/F#        A       E5     F#5    E5    D5   (Fig 1 [used in all verses])

/ ^ /       ^/       /      ^     /     ^ /

(Fig. 1 once for each line)
Well she did understand him so she guessed he was deep
She had never been to college and was to dumb to be
So he lead her to the altar thinkin he'd be laughin last
Now the lady in question is his better half

(Chorus)

           D       F#m       E              D
Shes gotta be  the stupidest girl I've ever seen

           F#m   E      D
Don't care who, why or where I've been

            F#m                           Bm
She's got a right to be everything that's wrong with me

    E                                    D
But she doesn't wan't to understand that she's a girl and I'm a man
(Fig 1 again)

(Same as first verse)
He thought that woman and drinking made a man out of him
But the extent of his study left a jaded man
So when she lead him to the altar he was easily led
And when they ask him if he did, well, this is what he said

Chorus

Solo over verse chords
Bridge

G          Em7

Cadd2
Everytime I see her She gives me a new reason to be in

Em7

Cadd2

Asus2
