WHITE GIRL Recorded by: Johnny Cash Key of A INTRO: D-------------------------------- A-4-3-2-2-2-2-4-5-2------4-2---0- E-------------------2-0------2--- A E I am stunned and I am broken and my hat is in my hand E D A For she who said she loved me will not wed an Indian man A E My gods who were wild-ridden stand quiet by my side E D A For although I love her she would not be my bride CHORUS: A E Oh good-bye softly sweet one it was splendid while it ran E D A Good-bye my bitter white girl I'll forget you if I can She came up to the pueblo with her bright blond hair They told me not to love her but I did not care She took me to her parties she carried me around And I was a proud one the tallest man in town For I found great wonder all wrapped in brilliant dreams I held her strong with gentle as kings have held their queens I learned to drink strong whiskey as she took me here and there Until life without my whiskey I could not bare REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: D-------------------------------- A-4-3-2-2-2-2-4-5-2------4-2---0- E-------------------2-0------2--- KEY CHANGE: Key of G G D Well when she came to leave me she took me by the arm D C G And she said she loved me and would not do me harm G D But she would not marry not an Indian she said D C G She thanked me for my offer and I wish that I was dead Now I'm back among my people and they are kind to me Although I'm sad with staggers when I drink the tough whiskey For I've been a white girl's pet a captive in the end Shown off and discarded just a drunk who might have been REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
