Rod Stewart – Julia chords

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
GHere's a song I sing for you about a girl that I once knew
CJulia
GShe lived in a great big house with golden gates where servants bowed
    CFor Julia

[Verse 2]
Em                            CUnashamed I'd sit outside and wait for hours
Em                                    CHoping that she'd climb down from her ivory towers
     Em                              C            DThis beautiful girl as pretty as any flower had a hold on me

[Chorus]
GUpstairs in my lonely room I would dream of being cool
     CWith Julia
GI lived in obsessive bliss carefully planning my first kiss
    COff Julia

[Verse 3]
Em                            COne day I was feeling awfully brave and asked her
Em                         CIf she'd like to come on a date, I just had to
Em                                 C                DShe bent down and gently kissed my face and said oh someday
G  D  Em  D     C          AmOh my god how I loved this girl
    G  D   Em   D         C          AmBut no one ever said that love could burn

[Chorus]
GWaiting by the phone for days for a call that never came
CFrom Julia
    GBut love is cruel and has no wings but I still hear angels sing
    CFor my Julia

[Verse 4]
Em                    CI remember being overwhelmed by her prettiness
   Em                           CIf only she would look my way I might be in business
   Em                             C               DTo tell the truth she didn't even know I existed, Julia

[Chorus]
GSummer took her pretty clothes, winter came in grey and snow
COh Julia
    GAnd I found out she'd moved away, her best friend said to the north country
C  Julia

[Verse 5]
Em                               CNow all this happened many years ago my friend
Em                            CRegrettably there is no happy end, oh no
Em                     C         D     GShe was 14, I was only 10, oh my Julia
