D             Dm9           Fmaj7                C 
Last December I met a girl, she took a likin? to me 
 
                   Am7                     D 
Said she loved me, but she didn?t know the meanin? of the word 
 
D            Dm9                  Fmaj7 
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin? her hand and 
 
C                      Am7                      D 
Wisperin? sweet things and, cooin? softly like a songbird 
 
D                Dm9                    Fmaj7 
Then one mornin? she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a 
 
C                       Am7                 D 
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I?m heavy with child" 
 
D                     Dm9                     Fmaj7 
I said "God damn girl can?t you see, that I?m breakin? my back 
 
     C                            Am7             D 
Just tryin? to keep my head above water, and it?s turnin? me wild 
 
D          G              A               D 
Cinderella can?t you see, don?t want your company 
 
D                             G 
You better leave this mornin? leave today,  
 
A                       G     D 
take your love and your child away 
 
D                               Dm9 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;  
 
Fmaj7                           C 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;  
 
Am7                              D 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no;  No, no, no, no, no 
 
D                         Am7            D 
Woh, woh, woh...etc.      Woh, woh, woh, no 
 
D                    Dm9                  Fmaj7              C 
Rockin? chair on the front porch, and I?m thinkin? about all the  
 
                             Am7               D 
things that I did as a young man, now that I?m old 
 
D          Dm9                     Fmaj7                     C 
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys 
 
                 Am7                    D 
That a young man should have, before he gets too old 
 
D          G                 A                  D 
Cinderella couldn?t you see, I didn?t want your company 
 
D                         G              A                       G 
Shoulda left that mornin, left that day, took your love and your child... 
 
     D 
away 
 
 
  
 
(Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are tuned down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up, leaving the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by fretting the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
