Intro: G  G6  G  G6 

verse 1: 
 Am            D               Am 
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair  
      D         G          G6   Am 
'Twas there she wandered 
         D               Am 
With her suitcase in her hand 
    D        G          G6 
Her fate she pondered 

 
G      C             G             C              D 
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care 
    Am           D                       Am 
She met him on a night so rare, when her friends were there 
        D        G          G6  G  G6 
And the band was grooving 


verse 2: 
Am             D                    Am 
When he gave a glance that said how much  
         D       G         G6 
He would like to meet her  
Am             D           Am 
How was she to know at the time 
   D        G          G6 
He would mistreat her 


Bridge: 
G               C               
In her cage she danced for him 
  G                C                    D 
Although a hundred eyes were turned her way 
Am             D                  Am 
And before the set was through he knew 
          D      G          G6 
She would be his loved one 


G      C             G             C              D 
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care 
Am          D              Am 
Only twenty-one she was, a young girl 
     D       G          G6  G  G6 
Just in from somewhere
