[Verse 1]
G
Aw, we walked the streets of Greenwich Village
C G
Holdin' hands like school kids in the summer August sun
Em C
Smilin' at the passing strangers on their way
C/B Am D
And wishin' the end would never come
G C
And a flower lady sold me one red rose to give you
Em Am Em
For your chestnut hair, just to make it shine
C
And I gently held you to me, whispered
G D G
Joli girl, Joli girl, will you be mine

[Verse 2]
G C
Then we stopped in to the fruit stand on the corner
G
For some coconut champagne
Em C C/B
And a taxi driver cussed us, 'cause a blind man got his tip
Am D
And tapped a "thank you" with his cane
G C
And we ducked out of the rain into this tiny little shop
Em Am Em
That traded books and fluffy hats for rings and beads
C
And I gently held you to me, whispered
G D G
Joli girl, Joli girl, you're all I need

[Chorus]
D G
Aw, Joli girl, please don't ask me how long I'll be stayin'
C G
You'll just end a simple dream we both can share
Bm C
Tomorrow is another day, I'll be far so far away
Am D
Oh Joli girl, I may be anywhere
G C D
So let's spread our blankets in the park and hold each other close
G Em
The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go
C
But always remember
G D G
Joli girl, oh Joli girl, I love you so

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
G C D
So let's spread our blankets in the park and hold each other close
G Em
The dark is coming on and soon we'll have to go
C
But always remember
