And Aubrey was her name 

               C          C/B            Am7  Am7/D

A not so very ordi-nary girl or name

                    G G/F# Em    

But who's to blame

         Gmaj7         C        G

For a love  that wouldn't bloom

            Cmaj7                       G           Gma7

For   the hearts that never played in tune

Am7           G/B         C            G/B

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

Am7           G/B                                C              Em9

Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

Am D7sus D7

G   G/F#                 Em   Gmaj7

And Aubrey was her name 

                        C                       C/B                Am7  Am7/D

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon

                      G G/F# Em    

But where was June?  

        Gmaj7   C        G

No it never came around

     Cmaj7            G            Gma7

If it did, it never made a sound

Am7            G/B                  C                G/B

Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast

Am7                G/B                       C                  Em9

Catching all the words but then the meaning going past

G           B7                  Em

     And God, I miss the girl

             G                                                 C

     And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

     Cm                          G

     Closer to her than to me

G    G/F#                 Em   Gmaj7

And Aubrey was her name 

           C                   C/B                    Am7  Am7/D

I never knew her but I loved her just the same

                 G G/F# Em             

I loved her name.     

                Gmaj7 C                G

Wished that I     had found a way

Cmaj7                                G               Gma7

And the reasons that would make her stay

Am7                  G/B           C                     G/B

I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest

Am7                   G/B                 C                  Em9

If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best

G         B7                     Em

     Oh, how I missed the girl

                 G                                          C

     And I'd go a million times around the world just to say

     Cm                                 G

     She had been mine for a day.
