	  G                                                            C                  G 
She was born in an oil-drum South side of Chicago 
                                                    D 
When East St. Louis was not far away 
G                                                                       C        G 
She'd lace knives to her boots and go down to the riverbed 
                                                                           D 
Skate around and around till the night became day 

G                                                          C          G 
The cannery fellows would follow her everywhere 
                                                       D 
From the grocery store to the B.Q.E. 
G                                                                   C         G 
With their hearts all aglow from her icy back at you stare 
                                                                                      D        
Then her teeth became tight when her eyes couldn't see 
  
G                                 D                        C 
And she told herself that this was enough 
G                                                  D 
For a girl who was born in an oil drum 
G                          D            C 
She had her skates didn't need lots of stuff 
G                            D              G 
She didn't need it but she still wanted some 

             D 
Oooohhhhhh ohhh yeah 
Em               C 
Aaaaaaahhhhhh ohhhhh yeah 
G         D      Em      C     G 
Ahhhhhhhhh 

                                          C         G 
She had one thing that she liked and she kept around 
                                   D 
She would take it with her to the riverbed 
G                                                                           C               G 
As she skated around she always thought of a pretty sound that she heard 
                                      D 
as a girl in her mother's bed 
G                                                                C                G 
The sound of some breathing another breath in and out when some lungs  
                                                D 
expand and contract like they do 
G                                                                   C        G 
And she looked at herself in the ice of the riverbed and she saw a girl  
                                                 D 
one which she could see through 

G                                           D        C 
And she told herself that this was enough 
G                                                   D 
For a girl who was born in an oil drum 
G                                         D            C 
She had her skates didn't need lots of stuff 
G                                                 D              G 
She didn't need it but she still wanted some 

             D 
Oooohhhhhh ohhh yeah 
Em               C 
Aaaaaaahhhhhh ohhhhh yeah 
G         D      Em      C      
Ahhhhhhhhh 
G 
she still wanted some    
D 
she still needed someone 
Em           C 
Ohhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeahhh 
G 
she still wanted some    
D 
she still needed someone 
Em           C 
Ohhhh yeah, ohhhhh yeahhh
