Oh Girl
The Chi-Lites

(Eugene Record)

in 1972 made it to #1 on both the Rhythm and Blues and Pop charts


Intro:

        Bb [4 bars; harmonica enters 3rd bar]

Verse 1:

        Bb
        Oh, girl
                   Dm
        I'd be in trouble if you left me now
              Eb
        'Cause I don't know where to look for love
        Cm                F7sus4
        I just don't know how

Verse 2:

        Oh, girl
        How I depend on you
        To give me love when I need it
        Right on time you would always be

Bridge:

        Db                        Ab
        All my friends call me a fool
                   Bb                        Cm7/F
        They say, "let the woman take care of you"
             Db                                   Ab    
        So I    try to be hip and think like the crowd
        Bb                              Cm7/F
        But even the crowd can't help me now, oh-oh-oh

Verse 3:

        Oh, girl
        Tell me, what am I gonna do
        I know I got a guilty face
        Girl, I feel so out of place, oh yeah

        (1: don't know where to go, who to see, yeah)

Verse 4:

        Oh, girl
        I guess I better go
        I can save myself a lot of useless tears
        Girl I've gotta get away from here

Verse 5:

        Oh, girl
        Pain will double if you leave me now
        'Cause I don't know where to look for love
        And I don't, I don't know how

        (2: Oh, girl, why do I love you so... yeah...)

        (3: Better be on my way, I can't stay)

        (4: Have you ever seen such a helpless man)
