G – Bm7 – Em – Gmaj7 – C – C/B – Am – D
G Bm7 Em Gmaj7
And Aubrey was her name
5 5 5 4
C C/B Am D
A not so very ordi-nary girl or name
4 4 4 4 4 5
G Bm7 Em G+6 G6 C#dim
But who’s to blame for a love that wouldn’t bloom
5 5 5 5
C C Bm Bm
For the hearts that never played in tune
5 5 5 5
Am Bm C Bm
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
5 5 5 5 4 4 4
Am Bm C C/B D Dsus4 D
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn’t mean a thing
G Bm7 Em Gmaj7
And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am D
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
G Bm7 Em G+6 G6 C#dim
But where was June? No it never came around
C C Bm Bm
If it did, it never made a sound
Am Bm C Bm
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast 6
Am Bm C C/B G
Catching all the words but then the meaning going past
6 5 5 6
G B7 B7 Em
And God, I miss the girl

G7 G7 C C
And I’d go a thousand times around the world just to be

Cm Cm G – Bm7 – Em – Gmaj7 – C – C/B – Am – D
Closer to her than to me
G Bm7 Em Gmaj7
And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am D
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
G Bm7 Em G+6 G6 C#dim
I loved her name. Wished that I had found a way
C C Bm Bm
And the reasons that would make her stay
Am Bm C Bm
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
Am Bm C C/B G
If I can’t have the one I want, I’ll do without the best
G B7 B7 Em Em
Oh, how I miss the girl
G7 G7 C C
And I’d go a million times around the world just to say
Cm Cm G
She had been mine for a day.
