The Girl They Talk About Chords

(ver. 1)
Johnny Paycheck
Key of F#

The opening riff is played:

F# C# D# C#

Capo 4th fret 

The A7 is played with an added G on the high e string
  E A D G B e
  x 0 2 0 2 3

D
Now she's gone so carry on
                              A7
Tell me the latest evil about her
                                                              D
'cause like the old saying goes that just makes the tongue go louder
                                                          G
And in the presence of her absense the worst in her comes out
D                   G
It always seems the girl in my dreams
       A7             D
is the girl they talk about
D
Well I guess it's fate
                                      A7
Everyday there's some bad girl around town

It seems to be my luck every girl I pick up
                          D
Is the one everybody puts down

But until they proved I made a foolish move 
                       G
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
D              G
I can be found hanging around
A7                 D
The girl they talk about
G
I don't listen to the things they say
D
and let them make a fool out of me
G                            
They're spreading rumors and little
            D                          A7
white lies 'cause they're jealous of me
D
I've heard them say they'll come a day
                             A7
When she's going to paint me blue

She'll brush her past all over my future
                       D
with evil deeds she'll do 

but whatever she's done she's not alone
                                G
there's not a halo on those who shout
D                       G
and in the best crowd I walk proud
A7                        D
Beside the girl they talk about
