On The Rim Of The World Cifras

[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
 
    E
She inches along on the rim of the world,
A                  E
Always about to go over,
A                    E
How she can manage I never will know,
   F#7                     B7
To get from one day to the other.
E            B         E
Scrounging a buck or a bed
       G#                      C#m
Or the share of a roof for her head,
     A                    E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
    B7                      E
Who lives on the rim of the world.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    E
She looks like a princess in somebody's rags,
    A                         E
She dreams of a world without danger,
A                        E
Climbing the stairs to a room of her own
     F#7                 B7
With someone who isn't a stranger.
E           B             E
But now she eats what she can,
    G#                          C#m
And accepts what there is for a man,
     A                    E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
    B7                      E
Who lives on the rim of the world.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    E
She inches along on the rim of the world,
A                  E
Always about to go over,
A                    E
How she can manage I never will know,
   F#7                     B7
To get from one day to the other.
E            B         E
Scrounging a buck or a bed
       G#                      C#m
Or the share of a roof for her head,
     A                    E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
    B7                      E
Who lives on the rim of the world.
