graham parker - girl on the pier graham parker lyrics

intro: g d em7 c
g d em7 c

g d em7 c
as the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall
g d em7 c
i walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll
g d em c
a flare exploded over the ocean. an orange tear
g d em c g
then i saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier

intro repeat

g d em7 c
she stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete
g d em7 c
in her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet
g d em c
she walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear
g d em7
who will fill up the vacuum inside her,
c g d em7 c
the girl at the end of the pier

bridge

em c em c
the toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar
em c
the organ grinder’s monkey’s been freed from enslavement
em d
he ran beneath the wheels of a family car

intro repeat / bridge repeat

g d em7 c
now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone
g d em7 c
a carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans
g d em c
no-one saw her run to the railing and disappear
g d em c g d
one more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
g d em7 c g
one more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
d em7 c g d em7 c g
girl at the end of the pier girl at the end of the pier
