[Intro ]: Fm C# G# Cm
Verse: Fm C# G# Cm
(but twice as fast as the intro)
Julie was a girl like no other
She used to have a style that would make them boys stutter
And every time she rocked that stage with a mic in her hand
She made me a bit more desperate to be in a band
Now she was in love with the world and in love in the game
No need for desert but a hunger for fame
Yeah, spitting flows like a waterfall, banging on that wall
A bad bitch gonna break it all, 20 year old wrecking ball
Pre-Chorus A#m D#
But then that ball crashed into this guy
A#m Cm
And then she kissed all the dreams goodbye
Chorus: Fm C# G# Cm
(same as verse)

Instrumental/ohoh-ohoh part same as Intro:
Fm C# G# Cm
(twice as slow)
Verse:
Yeah, Julie, she turned into a mama
Leaving all them boys behind, man, they never caught her
'Cause Julie, she was hot no matter whether summer or fall
She was praised on the block, she was all rock and roll
And she became that lady with a belly and a baby
And the man in the Mercedes and she never rocked the stage again
I have to say I wasn't ready for the sudden changes
Love the way she played her cards like all of them were fucking Haitians
Pre-Chorus
A#m D#
But then she looked, looked into his eyes
A#m Cm
And then she kissed all his dreams goodbye
Chorus:
Fm C# G#
Julie, Julie, Julie
Cm Fm C# G# Cm
