D C D
I first met Julie a long time ago
C G D
staring up at me from the front row
D C D
She had a timeless glow, she was the image of youth
C G D
that never grows old or gets long in the tooth
D C D
And who would think after all these years
C G D
that good fortune would smile my way
D
She?s a symbol of all that I believe in
F C G
She was there at the beginning, she?s still out there today
D C D C G D
Chorus: Julie, Julie, I hope that you?re still single
D C D C G D
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
C G/B G D C G/B G D
(Woohooh hoohooh hooh, woohooh hoohooh hooh)
After me she went with a biker from Stoke
had a child with a banker from Bolton
I hear she ended up with a really nice bloke,
who?s respectable now, so my silence is golden
To protect her and him I`ve used a pseydonym,
but I hope she gets the vital connection
It was a long time ago, but I want you to know
Julie, you were the pick of a prime selection
Chorus: Julie, ...
But keep looking for your love (Woohooh hoohooh hooh)
D C D
Truly, Julie, you?re only a name
C G
you could be a Molly or a Sarah-Jane
D C D
But if I should never see you again,
C G
I?ll never forget you, truly
Chorus: Julie, ...
Keep looking for your love (Woohooh woohooh hooh)
D D C C
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
