Teenager of the Year


[Intro:]
G F  G F  G C  G  F

F
 Had a bit part
G
 An endless reel
Am                    G    F
 It always played in slo - mo
F
 But now it's fast
G
 A spinning wheel
C             G  F
 I know the dy - namo
G  F      G  F
My heart is cast

[Chorus:]
C         G
 Speedy Marie
Bb             D#
  Ahead of the now
F             C              G
 She's better built that's how
                Bb
She's built for speed
D#         F

Speedy Marie

Oh, yes indeed
I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
It's not enough
My liberty
There is a thing I want
I need, I love

[repeat chorus]

     B5   C5        D5          F5
Juxtaposed  in each moment's sight
     B5   C5       D5      F5
Everything  that I ever saw
       C5        F5
And my one delight
        Bb  C          Dm        F
Nothing can  strike me in such awe
           Bb   C           Dm            F
Mouth intricate  shapes the voice that speaks
        C         F
Always it will soothe

Rarer none are the precious cheeks
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
Each lip and each eye

Wise it the tongue, wet of perfect thought
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts

She is that most lovely art
Happy are my mind and my soul
And my heart
