Girl On The Pier Graham Parker

pre>intro:   g   d   em7	c

G   d	 em7   c



G		       d	       em7	    c

As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall

G			   d		    em7 		c

I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll

G		  d		     em      c

A flare exploded over the ocean. an orange tear

G 		 d	     em       c 		     g

Then i saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier



Intro repeat



G				 d	   em7		c

She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete

G		      d 	     em7	       c

In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet

G				 d		    em	    c

She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear

G			 d	     em7

Who will fill up the vacuum inside her,

C			g  d   em7   c

The girl at the end of the pier



Bridge



Em			     c		 em			  c

The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar

Em			     c

The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement

Em				d

He ran beneath the wheels of a family car



Intro repeat / bridge repeat



G			d		   em7		c

Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone

G			  d		   em7		       c

A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans

G		    d			    em	 c

No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear

G			  d	 em	    c			   g  d

One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier

G			    d	   em7	       c		      g

One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier

D			    em7 	c		       g   d  em7  c  g

Girl at the end of the pier	 girl at the end of the pier /pre>
