PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase A Girl Like You

This is a new arrangement and mix with extra overdubs, I've been trying for years to get the definitive version of this song, this may be it.

A GIRL LIKE YOU
GCDGCD
GC You've got yourself a girl but you know there's nothing in it
GC It's the only game around so you take it to the limit
GC Keep your feelings to yourself and you hope it will be better next
D time, next time around
GC You can play it to the end, you could stop it on a dime
GC and you'd like to shop around but you haven't got the time
GC You can chase the little girls but you never can forget about the
D love that you haven't found
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long GC Looking, I've been looking so long
GG When you come upon a love that you know is gonna stay
GC Tell her everything you feel, don't you let her slip away
GC Take whatever time it needs, let her see that she's the only one that
D you want to know about
GC Take her gently in your arms, let your feelings run deep
GC As you give all of your love, hold each other in your sleep
GC And you'll never have to worry, never have to keep your feelings inside,
you can let it out
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you.
GCD GCD
EmBm I can see how you smile at me
EmBm the way your hair shines like the sunrise
EmBmAm I can see tomorrow looking through your eyes
EmBmEmBm Just a moment here with you is like a weekend by the seaside
EmBmAm Such a world of mystery hiding in your eyes
GEmD All of my life I 've been looking for a girl like you GEm So many times I thought I fell in love DG but I never met a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long, GC Looking, I've been looking so long
GCD Looking, I've been looking so long for a girl like you repeat 4 times

Will,

Very nice! Sounds like the Kinks - excellent!

Bob

Hi Will.

Lots of energy, lots of drive and lots of interesting things coming and going in the arrangement, all of which keeps it interesting right to the very end.

A great track with particularly powerful drums - liked that a lot.

Yes, this may be your definitive version.

ROG.

I too hear the Kinks vibe!! I'm a huge Ray Davies fan. This is a fun song! Take care. Greg

The Kinks, that's interesting. I always thought of this as a Four Seasons song

Really enjoyed listening to this one Will! That banjo - love it!

This is today's Hot Forum Topic!

Hi, nice song and excellent rhythm

Sergio

The BB banjo is a great underused instrument, I also like the mandolin, adds that Cure vibe to a song
