Girl From A Pawnshop

The Black Crowes
Song Title: Girl From A Pawnshop
TBC Original? Yes
Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson
Recording Session: Three Snakes and One Charm
Record: Three Snakes and One Charm, Live
Live Debut: 05/20/1993
Shows: 112 times played live
Notes: Originally titled "Girl From The Pawnshop", it was first recorded at Kingsway 
in New Orleans on 10/11/92. The original Kingsway take and live versions of this song from 
High As The Moon Tour have some different lyrics from the final version.

An interesting tidbit: if you watch the 1992 video Who Killed That Bird, there is a 
where Rich is just strumming his guitar and suddenly he breaks out into the bridge section 
the song, while Marc and Chris stand around him smoking a joint.

Before going into the chorus, play this fill in place of the last chord during the verse

Chorus/Solo rhythm:
G                    C
There's a passion in being alone
G               C
A grace in a loveless time
G                     C
There's no new cross, there's no new sign

Only the sun and the changing tide

Em                  D
And out of respect, well really must confess
C
I never lost your number
G
I never lost your address
Em
And if we remain friends at best
D
Sometime later no, no not yet
C
We'll smile and remember it like this
