Girl With The Golden Hair

G Bm C D 3x G Bm C D Was fresh out of the country, my first trip to town, G Bm C D Where the rivers meet the ocean, and the people all come round, Em Bm C Bm She was standing on the shoreline, there was sunlight everywhere, C G D/F# G Bm C D G Bm C D I fell in love so easily with the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D Her eyes were green like summertime, her skin was soft and brown, G Bm C D And when she walked, her feet they left no footsteps on the ground, Em Bm C Bm Standin' there beside her, I was ten feet in the air, C G D/F# G Bm C D G Bm C D She gave herself so easily, the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D Well, her father was a fisherman, her mother was one too, G Bm C D And they lived down by the water, and did what they could do, Em Bm C Bm And they lived in a little harbor, where they built their traps and wares, C G D/F# G Bm C D G Bm C D And the seabirds sang a melody, to the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D Well, I courted her so gently, she said she'd be my own, G Bm C D And we settled in among her kin, in a little driftwood home, Em Bm C Bm And I loved her in the winter chill, and when the wind was fair, C G D/F# G Bm C D But her eyes were only human tied, the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D First warm days of April, when I was in the hills, G Bm C D Cuttin' down some timber, so I could pay some bills, Em Bm C Bm Was then she swam away from me, we all looked everywhere, C G D/F# G Bm C D G Bm C D I never saw my love again, the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D I guess it's been a lifetime, all my friends are gone, G Bm C D I walked down by the boat yard, and climbed the hill back home, Em Bm C Bm And I see her in my dreams at night, the dreams I cannot bear, C G D/F# G Bm C D G Bm C D I never did get over, the girl with the golden hair. G Bm C D I was fresh out of the country, my first trip to town, G Bm C D Where the rivers meet the ocean, and the people all come down, Em Bm C Bm She was standin' on the shoreline, with her head up in the air, C G D/F# G Bm C D And the seabirds sang a melody, to the girl with the golden hair.
