Topic: "Saw a Pretty Girl"
A favorite songs on mine is Brand New Key by Melanie Safka. I’ve always wondered what the story would have been like from the guy’s point of view in the song so I wrote this with that in mind.
Saw a Pretty Girl By Jeff Gilpin
September 1st, 2008
Verse 1
[D]Saw a pretty girl on her bike today
[D]Looked as if she got something to say
But [G]I was busy and had some things to [D]do
[G]She’d have said it if she wanted [D]to
[A]We can catch up after my day is [D]through [A7]
Verse 2
[D]Now that pretty girl’s on roller skates
[D]Riding by even though it’s getting late
[G]Got a smile as if she’s got something to [D]say
But [G]I’m afraid I’ve run all out of [D]day
[A]Maybe tomorrow when the night don’t get in the [D]way [A7]
Bridge
I [G]see that pretty girl all over town
[D]She travels pretty well
A [G]little too young to drive a car
I [A]guess it’s just as [A7]well
Verse 3
[D]Now that pretty girls a knocking at the door
But my [D]Mama’s answered I know what’s in store
[G]Mama’s going to say I’m here but not a[D]lone
And [G]it’ll be a long long time before she’s [D]gone
So [A]go on girl best you get on [D]home [A7]
Bridge
I [G]wonder what she wanted
[D]Coming by my house
I [G]guess I could have said something
But [A]I stayed quiet as a [A7]mouse
Verse 4
[D]Woke up this morning with my mind made up
If I [D]see that pretty girl I won’t interrupt
Going to [G]let her say what’s been on her [D]mind
Then [G]let her know what has been on [D]mine
And [A]hopefully it all will work out [G]fine [D]
