[Intro]
D ././  A  G ././  A
D ././  A  G ././  A
 
[Verse 1]
D ././  A  G ././  A       (repetitive sequence)
She struts into the room
Well, I don't know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sort of look her over
 
D ././  A  G ././  A       (repetitive sequence)
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly she starts telling me
Her life story, she says
 
{ CHORUS }
G      G6        G       G6
"Baby, if you wanna be my lover
F#                        Bm - A - G
  You better take me home
              A     A6   A   A6 G G6 G G6
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
    A         G      D
And I'm still on my own"

[Verse 2]
D ././  A  G ././  A       (repetitive sequence)
I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band
 
D ././  A  G ././  A       (repetitive sequence)
She asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said, listen baby
You really wouldn't understand, then I said

And I'm still on my own"
