Original Album:	  The Madcap Laughs

Words and Music by Syd Barrett

NOTES:
This was written when Syd was in fine form. The chords in the verses give a
very music hall / vaudevillian  feel to this cool song. They might be easier to play on an
electric, however. Here is a Syd song that swings! Enjoy! Timing is 4/4.

B                       F#
This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew.

           B                      F#
She didn't like my songs and that made me feel blue.

                 G           F#          E
She said: "a big band is far better than you..."

         A  D#7add11  Bm7       E       A  D#7add11  Bm7   E
O-oh-oh,                  kinda catchy,                  I hoped

               A          A7      D      Dm

  Her light was off and that's bad

D            Dm           A        F#
  Her sister said that my girl was gone

VERSE2:

Play as for VERSE1.


I said "Yeah! Here I go"
She is kinda cute, don't you know,
That after a while of seeing her smile
I knew we could make it, make it in style!

Play as for BRIDGE1.


So now I've got all I need.
She and I are in love, we've agreed.
She likes this song and my others too.
