It Takes A Young Girl [Key of E--3/4 tempo]

Words and Music by Jesse Winchester


[E] It takes a [E] young girl to make an

[B7] old man [E] smile. [Esus]

[E] It takes a [E] young girl to make an

[G#7] old man [A] fly.


[CHORUS]

[A] Why should it [B7] take always a

[E] young [C#m] girl to [A] move this

old [B7] heart of [E] mine. [B7]



It would take an [E] old man too

[B7] long to ex-[E] plain.[Esus]

[E] How a young girl plays

an [G#7] old, old [A] game. But that's just

how it [B7] is first she's yours and then

she's [C#m] his and that's [E]always,

[B7]always the [E] same. [B7]



It's been [E] ten long [B7] years since

I've [E] cried. It's been [E] five, I know

[G#7] five since I've even [A] tried.

Now [A] why should it [B7] take always a

[E] young [A] girl to [E] move this old

[B7] heart of [E] mine. But. . .

[CHORUS]
