The Girl With The Wandering Eye
By Steve Poltz

        G                    D              G                 C 
Your friend with the subwoofer blew out my tweeter 
    G             D              G          B5 
At that biker party downtown 
      G             D              G                C 
But that was ok 'cause he borrowed a fuse 
           G                D             G 
From a leather clad boy in the back 
    C                            G 
& after the cops & the requisite fight 
D                                 G 
Me & my friend we fell down for the night 
   C                          D                                Em 
& I made love to the girl with the wandering eye 
              C                 D              G       D G C G D G G 
Think my baby's got a wandering eye 

  G                D              G             C 
I woke to the sound of a fist on my doorbell 
           G                  D            G     B5 
With a headache the size of Peru 
      G                  D                 G            C 
The landlord was scowling my baby was towelling off 
G                      D                     G 
Beer mixed with blood from the floor 
    C                             G 
& after the eviction was handed to me 
      D                                   G 
We moved to the trailer park three by three 
   C                          D                                Em 
& I made love to the girl with the wandering eye 
              C                 D              G       D G C G D G G 
Think my baby's got a wandering eye 

C   D               G              Em 
Ah divided unrequited uninvited 
                  C                 D 
We're short sighted but united 
   Em D              C 
In looooooove 

G        D            G                  C 
I got a job at the subway downtown 
            G                D               G          B5 
Making sandwiches with plastic gloves 
      G                    D           G             C 
Her mother moved in & we all lived in sin 
           G            D            G 
Playing miniature golf underground 
    C                          G 
& after the parties the leather clad boys 
           D                                   G 
Would square dance together & make lots of noise 
   C                             D                                Em 
& I'd make love to the girl with the wandering eye 
              C                 D              G       D G C G D G G 
Think my baby's got a wandering eye 

C   D               G              Em 
Ah divided unrequited uninvited 
                  C                 D 
We're short sighted but united 
   Em D              C 
In looooooove 
                       Em  D   C         C 
I think we're in loooooooove 

      G                D                  G           C 
We borrowed a printing press started a paper 
     G              D      G          B5 
To publish our leftist ideals 
      G              D                    G    C 
We spoke of a new world the FBI soon heard 
      G                        D         G 
The phones were tap dancing too 
    C                          G 
& after the feds & the requisite fight 
      D                                   G 
We ran from the trailer in the middle of the night 
   C                              D                                Em 
& I had a child with the girl with the wandering eye 
              C                 D              Em 
Think my baby's got a wandering eye 
              C                   D            G        D G C G D G G 
Think my baby's gonna stay for a while 

C   D               G              Em 
Ah divided unrequited uninvited 
                  C                 D 
We're short sighted but united 
   Em D              C 
In looooooove 
                       Em  D   C         C 
I think we're in loooooooove
