I said ^Ghowdy there lady This ^Csure is some ^Gparty I've ^Cnever seen ^Ganything Like ^Dthis before She said ^Ghowdy there honey It's ^Cjust barely ^Gstarted But if ^Cyou think this is ^Gsomething Just ^Dstand here some more

Then she ^Glooked at me Then she ^Claughed at me^G Then she lifted her ^Dglass to me And the ^Grest they say is ^Chistory ^{G G D G}

I said that ^Ggirl in the corner ^CShe looks so ^Gpretty Oh the ^Cgirls all ^Garound her She ^Dmakes 'em look plain ^GLady I need a drink Can I ^Cbring you ^Ganother I'm ^Choping these ^Gbubbles They ^Dmight know her ^Gname

Well she ^Glooked at me Then she ^Claughed at ^Gme Then she lifted her ^Dglass to me And the ^Grest they say is ^Chistory ^{G G D G}

But ^Gwhen I returned Cham^Cpagne in my ^Ghands ^CThere stood two ^Gstrangers Where ^Dwe both did stand And the ^Glady was gone And the ^Cevening wore ^Gon And the ^Cgirl in the ^Gcorner Was ^Dnever al^Gone

But she ^Glooked at me And she ^Csmiled at ^Gme But she turned her eyes ^Daway from me And the ^Grest they say is ^Chistory ^{G G D G}

^GTim he was tall And ^CSusan was ^Gsmart And ^CFrancis she ^Glooked Like a ^Dfine work of art ^GMelissa was sad But ^Cthat made her ^Gsweet And ^CDan and ^GElaine Had the ^Dworld at their feet ^GDebra had Pliny ^CLisa had ^GTony And the ^Cgirl in the ^Gcorner She could've ^Dhad anybody ^GRichard was cool And ^CTubb he was ^Gfunny And ^Cthe tarot card ^Glady She had ^Deveryone's ^Gmoney

So I ^Gsaid my goodbyes When it ^Ccame time to ^Gleave And ^Cas I walked ^Gout Someone ^Dpulled at my sleeve She said ^Ghoney we never did of^Cficially meet ^CBut I sure am ^Ghappy you ^Dcame

She said that ^Ggirl in the corner She's ^Cmore than ^Gpretty And ^Cman you're not the ^Gfirst To look ^Dover her way But ^Gif you still wanted I ^Ccould introd^Guce you But ^Cyou never will be the ^Gsame

Then she ^Glooked at me Then she ^Claughed at ^Gme Then she extended her ^Dhand to me And the ^Grest they say is ^Chistory ^{G G D G}
