Girl On The Pier Graham Parker Lyrics - 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>
