[Note to Cowpie: I'm not sure if I entered the right address, but the CC
is
for the newsletter. Katie wrote in with a request, so I'm copying you
what I
sent her in case it's useful for the general publication. Sorry if
the tab's
are off & it's hard to read - hey everybody, listen to how Bonnie
does it and
you'll figure it out!]
Katie:
Good luck with this. If you're interested, Bonnie Raitt recorded it on
her
"Nick of Time" album, which also has lots of other excellent stuff
(of
course). She plays this with just a steel-guitar and very minimal
backup
rhythm - no percussion, no nothing else, and the effect is
jaw-dropping
beautiful.
NOBODY�S GIRL
C G
She don�t need anybody to tell her she�s pretty
Am F
she�s heard it every single day of her life,
G C F
he�s got to wonder what she sees in him when they�re so many
G
others standing in line
Am Bb F
she gives herself to him, but he�s still on the outside
C G C G C
she�s alone in this world, she�s nobody�s girl, she�s nobody�s girl
She shows up at his doorstep in the middle of night
then she disappears for weeks at a time
just enough to keep him wanting more, but never is he satisfied
and he�s left to pick up the pieces wondering what does he do this for
she�s off in her own little world, she�s nobody�s girl, she�s nobody�s girl
Bb F/G
(bridge) He says before I met her i didn�t love nothing
G F C
i could take it that was ok
Bb G C
she brings out a want in me, for
Dm F G
things I didn�t even know that I need
She does anything she wants, anytime she wants to
with anyone, oh she wants it all
still she gets all upset over the least thing
man you hurt, it makes you feel so small
and she�s a walking contradiction but i ache for her inside
she�s fragile like a string of pearls, she�s nobody�s girl
she�s fragile like a string of pearls, she�s nobody�s girl, ...
