Gerry Rafferty
The Girl's Got No Confidence

G             D          C               D          -G
She’s got the cool look,   she’s got the money man
              D               C            D       -G
She’s got the diamonds, she’s even got the suntan
        D            C             D           -G
She’s a bright girl,   she’s got a law degree
        D              C              D    -Am
She pioneered the introduction of the CD.

             C                  D                -Am
When she was young she read the Gurdjieff books
           C        D       -Am
The wisdom blew her away
              C            D
She’s got the money, she's got good looks
        G    D                     C
But the gi___rl, the girl's got no confidence
       G         D          C
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
    D             G
The girl’s got no confidence

She went to Berkley, did primal therapy
She wrote the music for a series on the TV
She studied Rumi and Ibn’Arabi
She meditated every summer in a teepee.

But no religion’s gonna tie her down
She loves her beautiful clothes
She’s sittin’ pretty livin’ way up town

But the girl, the girl’s got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl’s got no confidence.

Am        G              D               C
Little by little she got heavy round the middle
G                 D         Am           C
She wore a silk kimono when the sun went down
Am               G              D            C
She wrote to her mother and she took another lover
    G             D               Am       C       D
She gets a little lonely when the sun goes do______wn.


She’s got the cool look, she’s got the money man
She’s got the diamonds, she’s even got the suntan
She’s a bright girl, she’s got a law degree
She pioneered the introduction of the CD.

When she was young she read the Gurdjieff books
The wisdom blew her away
She’s got the money, she’s got good looks
But the girl, the girl’s got no confidence
No the girl, the girl’s got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl’s got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl’s got no confidence.

My first try, hope it works for you!
I had to do it, cause those chords were nowhere to be found and the song is great!

Intro: G   D   G   D   G   D   A   C   D
 
   G                           D
(1)See the dark night has come down on us 
 G                         D
The world is living in it's dream 
 G                          D
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep 
                    A            C                        D
And set out on the journey, and find the ship to take us on the way
 
 G                              D
The time has come to trust that guiding light 
 G                         D
And leaving all the rest behind 
 G                                  D
We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside 
                    A           C                      D
And set out on the journey, and find a ship to take us on the way 
 
              C                 G
**) And we'll sail   out on the water 
           D                A
Yes we'll feel    the seas roll 
          C               G   
Yes we'll meet out on the water 
                      A
We're all strangers I know... 
 
 G                    D
If you travel blindly, if you fall 
 G                         D
The truth is there to set you free 
 G                                 D
And when you're heart can see just one thing in this life 
                      A       C                     D
We'll set out on the journey, find a ship to take us on the way... 

(Repeat 1, then **)

		When I go down to the city
		  F#
		I just don't know wrong from right
		A
		When I get back to you Mattie well
		B           Ab
		You make me see the light

		LEAD
		A
		Love is a singular thing
		       F#
		It can take you up or bring you down
		     A
		Yes, love is the song that I sing
		        B                    Ab
		So come on now Mattie listen to this sound

		Dbm           Abm
		When you grow up we'll sit and talk
		A             E
		Of how things used to be
		Dbm       Abm
		I'll be a grand old man of rock
		A              E
		With all these memories.
