Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The girl in the wood
I hope I have the line breaks correct this time, Joe!

(Am)When I was a young boy and drove my mother wild,
I (F) met a maiden (G7) in the woods and (C) she, (E7) "Child,
Look deep into my green eyes and (Dm) at my autumn (Am) hair,
When you're a man you'll never see a (Dm) quite so (Am) fair.
Re-(F) member me, re-(C)member (Em) me,
Re-(Dm) member for the rest of your (Am) life."
I guess you have the rest of this. I seem to remeber it was recorded by Frrankie Lane in the 50's. Does anyone know its author? Dr John
