I've Been Meaning To Call by Robert Francis
I've Been Meaning To Call
TUNING
Untune your guitar half step down, that is somewhere in the middle of E and D#
CAPO ON 1

D
Early to rise, Early to bed
G D
That moment I'd risen I shaved my head
G D
Doing so that morning began with a grin
A D
I left behind my old fabled skin
D
It was middle of May, the seasons were bending
G D
I with the seasons could predict no ending
G D
Lived in the moment, being as it were
A D
That moment surrendered and led me to her
Bm G
Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread
D Bm D
I tugged her right over by tilting my head
Em G D
I followed her blind, to an old record store
A
While one of her friends found a way through the door
Em Bm G
In the dark we played records with everyone high
Em Bm G
I held her hands when the police drove by
Em Bm G
She asked me bout' home if I missed it at all
D
I thought Mama oh Mom I've been meaning to call
Bm D
Bm D D
D
The band went home, I stayed behind
G D
I took the Muskegon Ferry from the Milwaukee line
G D
Arrived at her door to clutch all her hearts strings
A D
We're driving up north to forget everything
D
I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes
G D
I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons
G D
Not crescent, nor full inside of the storm
A D
She'd dive and resurface each time changing form
Em Bm G
But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks
Em Bm G
Time out of water resumed on the clocks
Em Bm G
She slept while the second hand spun on the wall
D
I thought Mama Oh Mom I've been meaning to call
Bm D
Bm D D
D
I didn't wanna lose her, I bought two tickets home
G D
We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone
G D
Standing there watching our feet off the plane
G D
Each step she took further I was less the same
D
I was running from whoever I was at the time
G D
I went running right into the middle of a crime
G D
I was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime
G D
Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb
G D
And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime
A
And just within a day you were well on your way
Em Bm G
And I went to the river where all sinners meet
Em Bm G
Watched the animals run from headlights in the street
Em G Bm
I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed
Em G Bm
You gotta be above someone to watch them fall
Em Bm G
Emily I've been meaning
Em Bm G
Emily I've been meaning
Em Bm G D
Emily I've been mea..ning to call
