The Girl In The Corner

Lyle Lovett

 G
I said howdy there lady
 CG
This sure is some party
 CG
I've never seen anything
 D
Like this before
 G
She said howdy there honey
 CG
It's just barely started
 CG
But if you think this is something
 D
Just stand here some more

 G
Then she looked at me
 CG
Then she laughed at me
 D
Then she lifted her glass to me
 GCGGDG
And the rest they say is history      

 G
I said that girl in the corner
 CG
 She looks so pretty
 CG
Oh the girls all around her
 D
She makes 'em look plain
 G
 Lady I need a drink
 CG
Can I bring you another
 CG
I'm hoping these bubbles
 DG
They might know her name

 G
Well she looked at me
 CG
Then she laughed at me
 D
Then she lifted her glass to me
 GCGGDG
And the rest they say is history     
 G
But when I returned
 CG
Champagne in my hands
 CG
 There stood two strangers
 D
Where we both did stand
 G
And the lady was gone
 CG
And the evening wore on
 CG
And the girl in the corner
 DG
Was never alone

 G
But she looked at me
 CG
And she smiled at me
 D
But she turned her eyes away from me
 GCGGDG
And the rest they say is history     

 G
 Tim he was tall
 CG
And Susan was smart
 CG
And Francis she looked
 D
Like a fine work of art
 G
 Melissa was sad
 CG
But that made her sweet
 CG
And Dan and Elaine
 D
Had the world at their feet
 G
 Debra had Pliny
 CG
 Lisa had Tony
 CG
And the girl in the corner
 D
She could've had anybody
 G
 Richard was cool
 CG
And Tubb he was funny
 CG
And the tarot card lady
 DG
She had everyone's money
 G
So I said my goodbyes
 CG
When it came time to leave
 CG
And as I walked out
 D
Someone pulled at my sleeve
 GC
She said honey we never did officially meet
 CGD
 But I sure am happy you came

 G
She said that girl in the corner
 CG
She's more than pretty
 CG
And man you're not the first
 D
To look over her way
 G
But if you still wanted
 CG
could introduce you
 CG
But you never will be the same

 G
Then she looked at me
 CG
Then she laughed at me
 D
Then she extended her hand to me
 GCGGDG
And the rest they say is history
