With a German accent
She sings American blues
With a guitar 'cross her shoulder
And some worn out wooden shoes
She plays for pennies
Thrown into an open case
She plays for love
And a smile across your face
With an angel's voice that smokes
Too many cigarettes
And if you help her out
She's gonna help you to forget
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play me a song? (play me a song)
Make it sweet, make it sad
So we can all sing along
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play it again? (play it again)
Strum the chords of my life
Take away all my pain
Guitar girl, hoo, guitar, guitar girl
On the streets of Munich
Tonight you can hear the ghosts
Of delta kings and Harlem queens
And cool jazz from the coast
A million minor chords
Can really take its toll
On a young frulein
Searching for her soul
With an angel's voice that smokes
Too many cigarettes
And if you help her out
She's gonna help you to forget
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play me a song? (play me a song)
Make it sweet, make it slow
So we can all sing along
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play it again? (play it again)
Strum the chords of my life
Take away all my pain
Guitar girl, hoo, guitar, guitar girl
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl
(solo)
With an angel's voice that smokes
Too many cigarettes
Well if you help her out
She's gonna help you to forget
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play me a song? (play me a song)
Make it sweet, make it slow
So we can all sing along
Guitar girl, guitar girl
Won't you play it again? (play it again)
Strum the chords of my life
Take away all my pain
Guitar girl, hoo, guitar, guitar girl
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl (guitar, guitar, guitar)
Hoo, guitar, guitar girl
