Intro:

Gmaj7  Am7 (x4)

Verse 1:

(Michael):

      Gmaj7
Every night,
                Am7
She walks right in my dreams,
        Gmaj7            Am7
Since I met her from the start.

       Gmaj7          Am7
I'm so proud I am the only one,
       Gmaj7          E7sus4
Who is special in her heart.

Chorus 1:

            Am7
The girl is mine,
D7                   Gmaj7  Am7  Gmaj7
 The doggone girl is mine.

E7sus4        Am7
 I know she's mine,
D7                           Gmaj7
 Because the doggone girl is mine.

Interlude:

Gmaj7  Am7 (x2)

Verse 2:

(Paul):

        Gmaj7          Am7
I don't understand the way you think,
       Gmaj7                 Am7
Saying that she's yours, not mine,
        Gmaj7          Am7
Sending roses and your silly dreams,
       Gmaj7           E7sus4
Really just a waste of time.

Chorus 2:

            Am7
The girl is mine,
D7                   Gmaj7  Am7  Gmaj7
 The doggone girl is mine.

 Because the doggone girl is mine.

Bridge 1:

(Both):

Gmaj7
 I love you more than he,
          Am7
(Take you anywhere),
               Gmaj7
But I love you endlessly,
        Am7
(Loving we will share).

            Bbmaj9
So come and go with me,
       Ebmaj7
To one town,
       C           D6
But we both cannot have her,
        C          D6
So it's one or the other.
        C              D6
And one day you'll dis-cover,
           C           D6
That she's my girl for-ever and ever.

Verse 3:

(Both):

      Gmaj7
Don't build your hopes,
      Am7
To be let down,
       Gmaj7            Am7
'Cos I really feel it's time.
              Gmaj7
I know she'll tell you,
        Am7
I'm the one for her,
         Gmaj7           E7sus4
'Cos she said I blow her mind.

Chorus 3:

            Am7
The girl is mine,
D7                   Gmaj7  Am7  Gmaj7
 The doggone girl is mine.

E7sus4            Am7
 Don't waste your time,

 Because the doggone girl is mine.

Break:

(Over Gmaj7, Am7)

(Paul):
 Michael,
We're not going to fight about this, okay?

(Michael):
 Paul, I think, I told you;
I'm a lover, not a fighter.

(Paul):
 I've heard it all before, Michael,
She told me that I'm her forever lover,
You know, don't you remember?

(Michael):
 Well, after loving me,
She said she couldn't love another.

(Paul):
 Is that what she said?

(Michael):
 Yes, she said it,
You keep dreaming.

(Paul):
 I don't believe it!

Coda:

            Gmaj7  Am7
The girl is mine,
            Gmaj7  Am7
The girl is mine.

(Repeat to Fade)
