Ryan Adams – “English Girls Approximately”
So far I’ve been pretty good at tabbing out Ryan Adams songs…
I hope someone decides to use this tab, I know it’s just one of those songs that you
to skip on the CD…but this song really got stuck in my head. I couldn’t find any tabs on
internet so let’s hope this one works.
Please leave a good rating, I really tried my best on this one and I think it sounds
If you have any suggestions please post a comment. Thanks!

English girls are pretty when they play guitar
Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for
Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall She’s got a
brother in the blues but he doesn't know the blues at all
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time,
I was just about to tell you, but OK, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing,
English girls can be so mean
(Intro x2)
She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals
She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town
I ain’t never been a good enough to ever keep around
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time,
I was just about to tell you, but OK, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing,
English girls can be so mean
Ooooohh, look at you now
Ooooohh, look at you now
Mmmmnn best I'd ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink
(Intro x2)
Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall
Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball
Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio
Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall
Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing
Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany
Come on further, I'm a tired and I want to sleep
My little dove do, and I guess she was a done with me
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time,
I was just about to tell you, but OK, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing,
English girls can be so mean
Ooooohh, look at you now
Ooooohh, look at you now
Mmmmnn best I'd ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink
(Intro x2 lightly)
Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off
Words may move, but they aint’t never moving fast enough
Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing
(Cadd9)
Just three words, my love:
you meant eve-ry-thing
You meant eve-ry-thing
You meant eve-ry-thing
You meant eve-ry-thing
