Aubrey

By David Gates of Bread

Verse 1

G           G                        Em        

And Aubrey was her name,

Gmaj7      C                                   Am7

A not so very ordinary girl or name.

Am7                       G         G

But who's to blame?

Em     Eb   G                      C#m7-5   

For a love that wouldn't bloom

Cmaj7                               G              Gmaj7

For the hearts that never played in tune.

Am7                G               C                       G

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,

Am7                         G                       C                      C#m7-5  Am D7sus D7

Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

Verse 2

G           G                        Em        

And Aubrey was her name.

Gmaj7      C                                   Am7

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,

Am7                       G         G

But where was June.

Em     Eb   G                      C#m7-5

No it never came around.

Cmaj7                               G              Gmaj7

If it did it never made a sound,

Am7                G               C                       G

Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,

Am7                         G                       C                      C#m7-5  G

Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

B7                                Em

But God I miss the girl,

Em             G                                                  C

And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

Cm                               G     C    G   C  G  Am7 G

Closer to her than to me.

Verse 3

G                                       Em

And Aubrey was her name,

Gmaj7           C                     C                           Am7

I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,

Am7                  G

I loved her name

Em       Eb G                       C#m7-5

Wish that I had found a way,

Cmaj7                                 G                   Gmaj7

And the reason that would make her stay.

Am7                            G               C                G    

I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest;

Am7                    G

If I can’t have the one I want,

     C                              C#m7-5

I'll do do without the rest.

Outro

B7                                Em

And God, I miss the girl

Em               G                                          C

And I’d go a thousand times around the world just to say

Cm                                    G

She had been mine for a day.

 

The Band

Bread was an American soft rock band from Los Angeles, California. They placed 13 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1970 and 1977 and were an example of what later was labeled as soft rock.

The band consisted of David Gates (vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, violin, viola, percussion), Jimmy Griffin (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion) and Robb Royer (bass guitar, guitar, flute, keyboards, percussion, recorder, backing vocals). Jim Gordon (Drums, percussion, piano), Mike Botts (drums, percussion) replaced Royer when he joined in the summer of 1969 and Larry Knechtel (keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, harmonica) replaced Royer in 1971.

The Story Behind the Song

David Gates wrote this song after watching the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn. The song itself had nothing to do with the movie, but moodiness of the film had set him up to write it.

Gates: "I hardly ever write any 'name' songs, but I loved that name and the way it flowed in that particular melody. That may be the best melody I've ever written." (song facts)
