              D                                  G                                        D

1. I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit and his wizard's hat,

            D                                  G                              D

    he spoke of his movie and how he was makin'a new sound track.

                            C          G                 D

    And then we spoke of kids on the coast,

            C                         G            D

    and different types of organic soap,

                    C       G                          D

    and the way suicides don't leave notes,

                                  A

    then we spoke of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine.

                  D                                  G                             D

2. I was speakin' to Phil who was given to pills and small racing cars,

                  D                                   G                                      D

    he had given them up since his last crack-up had carried him too far.

                       C           G               D

    Then we spoke of movies and verse.

                    C             G                    D

    and the way an actress held her purse,

                   C             G                      D

    and the way life at times can get worse,

                                       A

    then we spoke of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine.

 

     D                        G             D                     G

Ah,    she's a wild child, and nobody can get at her,

D                        G                  D                      G

    she's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her.

Bm                                  G    D                  G

    Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone,

D                                     G                                               F#m

    without a house or a home, and then she asked you, please,

                                                 A

hey, baby, can I have some spare change.

                                    D

Oh, can I break your heart?

                        G   - D                        G       - D - G - D - G

She's a wild child,        she's a wild child !

3. I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions, how they made her ill,

          D                               G                                          D

    but life is the theater, is certainly fraught with many spills and chills.

              C                       G                D

    But she'd come down after some wine,

                      C                   G              D

    which is what happens most of the time,

                   C           G                     D

    then we sat and both spoke in rhymes,

                                   A

    till we spoke of Lorraine, ah, always back to Lorraine.

 

              D                                      G                            D

4. I was talking to Ed, who'd been reported dead by mutual friends,

            D                                  G                               D

    he thought it was funny that I had no money to spend on him.

                 C                    G                        D

    So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese,

             C               G                      D

    and sang of our lives and our dreams,

                     C                          G               D

    and how things can come apart at the seams,

                                  A

    and we talk of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine.

 

D                        G                   D                     G

    She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get at her,

D                        G                  D                      G

    she's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her.

Bm                                  G    D                  G

    Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone,

D                                     G                                               F#m

    without a house or a home, and then she asked you, please,

                                               A

oh, baby, can I have some spare change.

                                    D

Oh, can I break your heart?

                        G   - D                        G       - D - G - D - G …
