Lyrics

Intro

    C ... Em ... Am ... F ...
    C ... G  ... C  .........


Verse

    C       G             C 
    Cut off all of your hair
    F        C               G 
    Did you flinch, did you care
    C      Em           Am   F     C 
    Did he look, did he stop and stare
            G          C 
    At your brand new hair
    
    Local boy, local news
    Power lines, hanging boots
    Firemen in their trucks cut loose
    A local boy's shoes

    Cadillac, Cadillac
    Businessman dressed in slacks
    I'm gonn' buy one for us when I get back
    A big Cadillac


Bridge

                    F        C           G 
        And you can wave to all of your friends
        And I'll never leave you again


Chorus

            C          Em               Am        F       C 
            Would you write, would you call back baby, if
              G            C 
            I wrote you a song

            I've been gone, but you're still my lady, and
            I need you at home

    (instrumental verse x1)

    Romeo, Juliet
    Balcony in silhouette
    Making O's with her cigarette
    It's Juliet
    
    Flapper girl, flapper girl
    Prohibition in curls
    Hair of gold and a neck of curls
    It's flapper girl

        And you can wave to all of your friends
        And I'll never leave you again

            Would you write, would you call back baby, if
            I wrote you a song
        
            I've been gone, but you're still my lady, and
            I need you at home

        'Cause if you ain't behind my door
        Then I ain't got a home anymore
        
            Would you write, would you call back baby, if
            I wrote you a song
        
            I've been gone, but you're still my lady, and
            I need you at home


Outro

                C       Em           Am 
                Lovers come, lovers go
                       F           C 
                Lovers leave me alone
                            G        C (let ring)
                She'll come back to me

About

My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.

Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.

In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
