#NOTES: This song is one of Eric's best ballads, but
# unfortunately it's not very well-known. It is
# from his 1983 album "Money and Cigarettes" and
# it features both acoustic and electric guitar
# work. An acoustic strums the chords indicated
# above each line of tab, while the electric plays
# the tab parts.

LYRICS:
Pretty girl, you are the light of my life
I mean my everything
You are the one I chose to make my wife
Thats why you wear my ring
And when Im feeling down and out
You are the one who will bail me out
My love will always guide me home
Pretty girl, my pretty girl
Oh pretty girl, my pretty girl
Pretty girl, dont ever say goodbye
Dont ever let me be
If you do, you know that I would die
You mean that much to me
And when Im feeling low and blue
You always know just what to do
My love will always guide me home
My pretty girl, oh pretty girl
My pretty girl, oh pretty girl
And when Im feeling down and out
Youre the one who will bail me out
My love will always guide me home
My pretty girl
Pretty girl, hear what I have to say
Its something you should know
You brought me sunshine on my darkest day
Thats why I love you so
And when my wandering day is through
Ill always hurry back home to you
My love will always guide me home
My pretty girl, oh pretty girl
My pretty girl, oh pretty girl....
