(A major) The Carter family lived (E minor) next door
for (A major) almost 14 years (E minor)
With (A major) Gwen and I (E minor) inseperatable from
(A major) rag dolls through (E minor) brassieres
Then (D major) Gwen began to bore (G major) me with
(C major) her giggles and her fears (A minor)
The day (Dsus4) the (D minor) Carters moved (F major) away,
I had (G major) to fake my tears (C major) (B minor) (C major) (G major)
I (E flat major) told new friends Gwen (B flat major) Carter
(G minor) had be (D major) come (Dsus4) a silly (D major) pest
And (G major) then I found I missed (D major) her (C major) more
than I'd ever (G major) have guessed
(A flat minor) Grandma
Verse 2
(A major) used to nag (E minor) at me
to (A major) straighten up my spine (E minor)
To (A major) act respectful and read (E minor) good books
To take care (A major) of what was mine (E minor)
I (D major) hated being (G major) criticized and
(C major) asking her permis (A minor) sion
(D minor) So what if her advise (F major) was wise,
It (G major) always hurt to listen (C major)
(B minor) I (C major) (A minor) (G major) (E flat major) didn't cry when (G minor) Granny died,
she (Dsus4) made me so (D major) depressed
And (G major) then I found I missed (D major) her (C major) more
than I'd ever (G major) have guessed
(A flat minor) You

Verse 3
(A major) used to make me moan (E minor) in bed,
but (A major) that can't be enough (E minor)
My (A major) friends complained your
jokes (E minor) were crude,
Your (A major) manners were too rough (E minor)
Don't (D major) know just what I (G major) wanted,
but I know (C major) I wanted more (A minor)
Someone (D minor) smooth, (F major) presentable,
to (G major) blend with (E minor) my decor
(C major) (B minor) An (C major) (A minor) d (G major) (E flat major) now at night I think (B flat major) of how
(G minor) you (E minor) grinned when you undressed (D major)
(G major) And I find I mis (D major) s you (C major) more than I'd ever (G major) (D major) have (G major) guessed.
