Verse 1
G 
There was once a young girl
D 
who lived in my hometown
And she became famous,
C 
the whole world around
G 
With the voice of an angel,
singing sweet
D 
suburban songs
and no one in our hometown
G 
C 
G 
knew anything but rock
D 
G 
and she
C 
G 
was a downy girl
D 
C 
G 
and she
I never liked her music I never saw
D 
her hangin' around
And I never said nothin' when
C 
G 
people put her down
But now that I'm older,
D 
I can understand her pain
C 
And I can feel a little proud when people say,
G 
look, man.
D 
C 
G 
Cause she, she was a downy girl.
D 
C 
Cause she, she was a dandy
G

G 
Tonight I'm on a highway,
A thousand years from
D 
my hometown
Missing friends and family who
C 
G 
are no longer around
Then I hear her singing on the car radio
D 
A sweet suburban song
C 
G 
from a long time ago
And I think about his sadness,
D 
And I think about her pain,
And for a few sweet minutes
C 
G 
I'm back home again.

She, she was a deli girl
