[D][G]
I was [D]talkin' to Chuck

[Verse 1]
in his [G]Genghis Khan suit
And his [D]wizard's [G]hat[D]
He spoke of his [G]movie and how he was makin'
a new [D]sound [G]track[D]
And then [G]we spoke of kids on [D]the coast
And dif[G]ferent types of organic [D]soap
And the [G]way suicides don't [D]leave notes,
Then we spoke of Lo[A]raine,

[Verse 2]
always back to Lorraine
[A]I was s[D]peakin' to B[Dm]ill w[D]ho was g[G]iven
to pills and [D]small racing cars
He had given them up since his [G]last
crack- up had carried [D]him too far
Then [C]we spoke of [G]the movies
[D]and verse
[C]And the [G]way an actress held [D]her purse
And the way [G]life at times can get worse,
[D]Then we spoke of Lorai[A]ne,
always back to Lorraine

[Verse 3]
[A]Ah, [Dm]she'[D]s a wild child[G],
[D]and nobody can get [G]at her
[D]She's a wild chi[G]ld, oh,
[D]and nobody can get to [G]her
[Bm]Sleepin'

[Verse 4]
out [G]on the street,
[Gm]oh, [G]livi[D]n' all alone[G]
[D]Without a house [G]or a home and then she asked you,
[D]please,[F#m]
Hey, [F#]baby, can I [D]have some [A]spare change
Oh, can I break [D]your heart ?

[Verse 5]
She's a wild [G]child,
[D]she's a wild chi[G]ld

[Verse 6]
I was talk[D]in' to Betty about [G]her
auditions, how [D]they made her [G]ill[D]
But life in the theater,
is cer[C]tainly fraught
[G]With many [D]spills and chills
But [G]she'd come down after [D]some wine
Which is what [C]happens [G]most [D]of the time
Then we [C]sat [G]and both spoke in [D]rhymes
Till we spoke of Lo[A]raine,
ah, always back to Lorraine

[Verse 7]
[A]I was t[D]alking to Ed who'd been re
[G]ported dead by mu[D]tual [Dm]friend[D]s
He thought it was funny that [G]I had
no money to [D]spend on him
So [C]we both [G]shared a piece
[D]of sweet cheese
And [C]sang of [G]our lives [D]and our dreams
And how thing[C]s can come
[G]apart at the seam[D]s
And we talk of [A]Lorraine,

[Verse 8]
always back to Lorraine
[A]
[D]She's a wild [G]child,
oh, and [D]nobody can get at [G]her
[D]She's a wild chi[G]ld,
oh, and [D]nobody can get to [G]her
[Bm]Sleepin'

[Verse 9]
out on the [D]street,
[G]oh,[D] livin' all alo[G]ne
[D]Without a house or a hom[G]e
and then she asked [F#m]you, please,
Oh, baby, can I have some
[A]spare change
Now can I break your heart?"
[D]She's a wild child,

[Verse 10]
[G]
[D]she's a wild chi[G]ld
