Intro:
/ D - - - / x4
D (4)
I pulled a mad scheme all around the north side
G (2) D (2)
Chasing a sweet thing so unsatisfied
A (2) D (2)
Every time I try, Crazy about a north side gal
D (4)
I got some good talk But not enough game
G (2) D (2)
Wooing the sweet thing, Oh ain't it a shame
A (2) D (2)
Every time I try, crazy about a north side gal
Chorus:
D (4)
Well she gets colder every time I try to hold her
G (2) D (2)
Pleasantly saying “No” to bolder younger gentlemen
A (2) D (2)
All of 'em try they're crazy 'bout a north side gal

I got some money, and some wheels to drive
G (2) D (2)
Old beat up guitars and old sleazy dives

Every song I sing It swings about a north side gal

Well she gets colder every time I try to hold her

Pleasantly saying “No” to bolder younger gentlemen
