 I said [G]howdy there lady 
 This [C]sure is some [G]party 
 I've [C]never seen [G]anything 
 Like [D]this before 
 She said [G]howdy there honey 
 It's [C]just barely [G]started 
 But if [C]you think this is [G]something 
 Just [D]stand here some more 
  
 Then she [G]looked at me 
 Then she [C]laughed at me[G] 
 Then she lifted her [D]glass to me 
 And the [G]rest they say is [C]history [G]   [G][D][G] 
  
 I said that [G]girl in the corner 
 [C]She looks so [G]pretty 
 Oh the [C]girls all [G]around her 
 She [D]makes 'em look plain 
 [G]Lady I need a drink 
 Can I [C]bring you [G]another 
 I'm [C]hoping these [G]bubbles 
 They [D]might know her [G]name 
  
 Well she [G]looked at me 
 Then she [C]laughed at [G]me 
 Then she lifted her [D]glass to me 
 And the [G]rest they say is [C]history [G]  [G][D][G] 
 {colb} 
 But [G]when I returned 
 Cham[C]pagne in my [G]hands 
 [C]There stood two [G]strangers 
 Where [D]we both did stand 
 And the [G]lady was gone 
 And the [C]evening wore [G]on 
 And the [C]girl in the [G]corner 
 Was [D]never al[G]one 
  
 But she [G]looked at me 
 And she [C]smiled at [G]me 
 But she turned her eyes [D]away from me 
 And the [G]rest they say is [C]history [G]  [G][D][G] 
  
 [G]Tim he was tall 
 And [C]Susan was [G]smart 
 And [C]Francis she [G]looked 
 Like a [D]fine work of art 
 [G]Melissa was sad 
 But [C]that made her [G]sweet 
 And [C]Dan and [G]Elaine 
 Had the [D]world at their feet 
 [G]Debra had Pliny 
 [C]Lisa had [G]Tony 
 And the [C]girl in the [G]corner 
 She could've [D]had anybody 
 [G]Richard was cool 
 And [C]Tubb he was [G]funny 
 And [C]the tarot card [G]lady 
 She had [D]everyone's [G]money 
 {colb} 
 So I [G]said my goodbyes 
 When it [C]came time to [G]leave 
 And [C]as I walked [G]out 
 Someone [D]pulled at my sleeve 
 She said [G]honey we never did of[C]ficially meet 
 [C]But I sure am [G]happy you [D]came 
  
 She said that [G]girl in the corner 
 She's [C]more than [G]pretty 
 And [C]man you're not the [G]first 
 To look [D]over her way 
 But [G]if you still wanted 
 I [C]could introd[G]uce you 
 But [C]you never will be the [G]same 
  
 Then she [G]looked at me 
 Then she [C]laughed at [G]me 
 Then she extended her [D]hand to me 
 And the [G]rest they say is [C]history [G]  [G][D][G]
