Intro

    
Am Am G N.C.

Verse 1

Mum bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen
You wore it to the disco, but every one was in jeans

Chorus

But you were a rich girl, only having fun
Your low-cut dresses, brought stares from everyone
C D G N.C.
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?

Verse 2

You left for London when you were nineteen
Had to pawn all your nice clothes, just living on dreams
A man in the bright lights took all that you own
Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown

Chorus

But you were a rich girl, only having fun
Your worn-out dresses, brought stares from everyone
C D G N.C.
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?

Bridge

Hey, little rich girl, you've been away for so long 
And now little rich girl, my words are in this song
Hey, little rich girl, my love for you is gone 
And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong

Verse 3

At your dad's office party, all the movies were blue
Caused him so much heartache because the screen star was you
You left for London when you were nineteen
Had to pawn off your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams

Chorus

And you were a rich girl, and only having fun
But your worn-out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong? 
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong? 
Hey, little rich girl, where did you go wrong?
