Cmaj7              Dm                     G
       I was about 7 when I first started having violin lessons
Cmaj7
One minute she was fine, the next she started throwing her violins across the room

Dm G

[Verse 1]
     Cmaj7                      Dm          G
Miss Trudy, she teaches all the   girls to sing
     Cmaj7      Dm          G
Miss Trudy, she teaches the violin
    Cmaj7                      Dm          G
But when the girls turned into     pretty, pretty things she

[Bridge]
F#m           G#m      C#m
    dried her eyes and cried...
F#m           G#m         C#m
     la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
     Cmaj7                         Dm   G
Miss Trudy, she smashed up all her      violins
     Cmaj7      Dm             G
Miss Trudy, she taught all the girls to sing


[Chorus]
    Am                  G              Dm
And when she cries, she cries for only her
      Am                        G                         Dm
The remains of twenty wooden violins scattered across the floor

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7             Dm  G
1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4,
Cmaj7             Dm  G
1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4,
Cmaj7             Dm  G
1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4,
Cmaj7             Dm  G
1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4,

[Chorus 2]
    Am                  G              Dm
And when she cries, she cries only for her
    Am                   G             Dm
Her teardrops fall on my violin on the floor

[Outro]
     Cmaj7                          Dm       G
Miss Trudy, at least you taught the girls to sing
Cmaj7
