Subject: Tom Petty: Girl On LSD
Tom Petty
Girl on L.S.D.
B-side to the single You Don`t Know How it Feels
chords figured out by Mark Matthews (rmmatt01@homer.louisvill.edu)
(I think they`re right, anyway)
On the album it`s played on a clean electric, but this is a great song to
play with an acoustic and a six-pack (or whatever drug you and your girl`s
on) with a bunch of friends on the back porch. But what Petty song isn`t,
right?
Note: When you`re strumming the D chord do the following slide every now
and then before each verse: xxx23x ----- xxx77X ----- xxx23x (it`s hard to
explain in writing, but if you hear the song you`ll know what bit I`m
talking about)
D G A D
I`s in love with a girl on marijuana
D G D A
(she) said if I`m not stoned I don`t wanna
G D
but she got so paranoid
A G
her place I would avoid
G A D
I`s in love with a girl on marijuana
[same for all verses]
I`s in love with a girl on cocaine
she had everything going but her brain
we`d talk endlessly for hours
but by morning it`d go sour
I`s in love with a girl on cocaine
(chorus:)
G D
Through extacy, crystal meth. and glue
A D
I found no drug compares to you
G
all these pills
D
and all this weed
A
I don`t know just what I need
I`s in love with a girl on l.s.d.
she`d see things I`d never see
she broadened her perspective
then I got more selective
I`s in love with a girl on l.s.d.
(repeat chorus)
I`s in love with a girl who drank beer
till bad breath and all she disappeared
she was blowing up real bad
but when she left I was still sad
I`s in love with a girl who drank beer
I`s in love with a girl on china white
we were married for a year one night
her memory still lingers
cause I burned all my fingers
I`s in love with a girl on china white
I`s in love with a girl who drank coffee
there was times when I couldn`t keep her off me
that caffine got her going
but her ugly side was showing
I`s in love with a girl who drank coffee
I`s in love with a girl who was a dealer
I`s afraid somebody`d come and steal her
we never used to fight
but the phone rang day and night
I`s in love with a girl who was a dealer
sure as hell
she got popped by the big guys
