  BREAKING THE GIRL

  Somebody (Big Toe?) was right: this song is listed as "capoed on
  the 4th fret".  That's really the only way to get the intonations
  in the right key.

  and repeat that for the verses.  (Chords for bridge and chorus
  may follow later).  Here are lyrics:

  I am a man cut from the know
  Rarely do friends come and then go
  She was a girl soft but estranged
  We were the two our lives rearranged

  Feeling so good that day
  A feeling of love that day

  CHORUS
  Twisting and turning your feelings are burning
  You're Breaking The Girl
  She meant you no harm
  Think you're so clever but now you must sever
  You're Breaking The Girl
  He loves no one else

  Verse 2:
  Raised by my dad, girl of the day.
  He was my dad, that was the way.
  She was a girl left alone
  Feeling the need to make me her home.
  I don't know what or why
  the twilight of love had arrived
