Verse 1
(D major) When I remem (A major) ber high (D major) school days,
I (G major) think of Celia Brown. (D major)
Her (G major) name was often mentioned
(D major) where the (E major) fellas hung around. (A major)
They'd (G major) laugh and (D major) talk about (G major) her
in a (D major) way that was so cruel. (G major)
You'd (D major) think she'd (A major) been
in the (D major) backseat
of most (A major) every car at school. (D major)
She didn't have (A major) much (D major) money
and no friends (G major) I can recall
(D major) Her dad (G major) died in Korea
(D major) and her mo (E major) m loved alcohol
(A major) Nobody (G major) took her to a dance
or (D major) much less took her home
(G major) The (D major) money spent (A major) on her (D major)
went in a (A major) public telephone (D major)
One evening for a joke,
I called her three (G major) weeks in advance
(D major) And (G major) asked her if she'd (D major) join me
at the (E major) junior -senior dance
(A major) I knew (G major) she'd be excited,
but to (D major) me it was a (G major) game
So (D major) I identified myself
by (A major) someone else's name (D major)
I heard she started saving up
to (G major) buy a brand new dress
(D major) And (G major) I felt kinda guilty
(D major) and I (E major) started to confess
(A major) Slowly (G major) there became
a change in (D major) Celia,
there's no doubt (G major)
She (D major) thought someone cared enough
to (A major) finally ask her (D major) out (E flat major)
Well, when the big night came,
felt ashamed (A flat major) and kind of dum (E flat major) b
And I parked (A flat major) around the corner (E flat major)
till her (F major) es cort didn't come
(B flat major) And (A flat major) I knocked on her door
and found her (E flat major) al most in a (A flat major) trance
And (E flat major) casually I asked if I could
(B flat major) take her to the dance (E flat major)
When we walked (B flat major) in,
a hush (E flat major) fell over everybody's (A flat major) (E flat major) stare
That (A flat major) night she looked pret (E flat major) tier
than (F major) anybody there
(B flat major) She (A flat major) didn't make a single friend,
though (E flat major) everybody tried
(A flat major) Politely (E flat major) she (B flat major) just shook her head
(E flat major) and (B flat major) never left my side (E flat major) (E major)
Well, I never told her what I'd done
and (A major) soon she moved away
(E major) Last (A major) I heard she'd (E major) changed her name
and was (F sharp major) living in L .A. (B major)
But today (A major) I saw the marquee
on the (E major) theater downtown (A major)
A (E major) name I didn't recognize,
but the (B major) face was Celia Brown you
Celia Brown
