Hey Girl Lyrics
by Carole King
By Carole King/Gerry Goffin
Note*: A great early tune by Carole in the 50s, popularized and sung by Freddie
Scott. You can listen to this version on youtube under One to One, Director's Cut.
There are various key changes throughout. The chord names are a bit off, but close!
Verse 1:
Hey, girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And, hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Somethin’ deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long
If this is goodbye
Verse 2:
Hey girl, now this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you
F(5th pos) F F(5) F
Hey, girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground (for the Fs, strum staccato-like)
And beg you, beg you to stay
Don't go away
Hey-ay-ay, girl
I beg you please, don’t go away
Away hey, girl (end).
