(see Note ) Cm7b5
I want a little girl, to call my own.
She must be someone, whose all alone now.
( Blues fill)
Say, I want a little girl, to fall in love with me, oh yeah.
I want a little girl, she may not look
Just like the picture, a picture, in the story book.
( Blues fill)
If she can cook chicken, yeah yeah, she suits me to a T.
She dont have to wave her hair, (AHH , AHH , AHH , AHH)
Or even wear fancy clothes (AHH , AHH , AHH, AHH)
Gmb5 [D#] [E] [D#] ([G#] Blues fill)
I wouldnt even care, if she didnt where nylon hose!!!
Cm7b5 (adlib GBlues lick after every line)
I want a little girl, who loves me a lot
You know that I would give her, everything that I got
Say, I want a little girl, to fall in love with me
I recommend GBlues in the forth position,
Begin the lick on 1st or 7th degree (maybe on the 4th),
make sure to fill with 1,4, 5 and 7 degree notes
and end on root or 5th depending on the verse.
Note B: You can add harmonic motion by adding a slide one half step
to A or A9 then back to the original chord (in this case Gor G#9).
I you choose the G9 find a position not to far up the neck. . .I
find that it is not as warm in terms of base.
Notes:
This by no means is the exact guitar version as played by Andy F.Low.
Most of the chords are presented by their quality; therefore, I have omitted
flattened / sharpened 5th, 7th and 9th chord voicings. Although I believe
that this version is 95%, there is definitely room for improvement and personal
additions. I just want to thank all of you that post; you definitely have
made my life more enjoyable with your hard work and selflessness.
I really hope this version brings you a lot of applause and truck loads of
shits and giggles.
