Pretty Girl from Cedar Lane
guitar chords lyrics
The other version is most certainly not right, so here is a closer one
at least. STANDARD TUNING
Inrto x 2: G B7 C D7 (end on a final G strum before the pause for verse)
G B7 C D7
I had a moment when I thought I might be wrong,
G B7 C D7
But Ashley how could it be?
G B7 C D7
I waited on the rooftop all night long,
G B7 C D7
But you weren't coming for me.
B7 C
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid
B7 C
You said you wanted me but you never did
G B7 C D7
There was a moment I thought our love was strong,
G C G
But now that moment is gone.
G B7 C D7
I could stand right underneath the window of your room,
G B7 C D7
Throwing rocks I've done it before
G B7 C D7
And I would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies,
G B7 C D7
But I don't have the energy no more.
B7 C
And you never promised anything that you didn't give,
B7 C
I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did.
G B7 C D7
There was a moment my love for you was strong,
G C G G C
G
but now that moment is gone. Now that moment is gone.
G, C (strum each chord a few times fast and hard before the lines with just
vocals)
I saw you behind the camera whispering
C G C G C
C
to your friends and watching me
C
I fell in love with you there was proved the
C G C G C C
fool that I can often be
C G C G C (This hard strumming
C, G pattern continues for a while,
you will have to listen to get this down cause.
Below is the little horn thingy that's playing over the middle C,G stuff

G B7 C D
I had a moment when I thought I might be right,
G B7 C D
But Ashley how could it be?
G B7 C D
I drank your sherry bourbon thinking you might come around,
G B7 C D
There ain't no one on this rooftop but me.
B7 C
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid,
B7 C
You said you wanted me but you never did.
G B7 C D
There was a moment my love for you was strong,
G C G
But Ashley that moment is gone
G C G F#/G
Ashley that moment is gone.
Em C G
Now that moment is gone.
That should be pretty damn close. I may have misplaced a chord name here
or there but follow the pattern of the rest if I messed up. It is a pretty
simple, and awesome, song. Enjoy.
