Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E D B A D B A B E
[Verse 1]
E
As large as life she stood there
D B A B A D B A B A
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
B
And though several years had passed
E
Both of us still looked quite the same
E
I said hi relaxed a bit
D B A B A D B A B A
Then asked her how she'd been all these years
B
She told me she was feeling fine
E
Came to see a friend who lived up here
[Verse 2]
E
Told me she had finished school
D B A B A D B A B A
And then went on to college for a year
B
I asked if she had married
E
Slowly down her cheek there came a tear
E
She said just an itchy eye
D B A B A D B A B A
It must be the weather way up here
B
Told her I can't stand the cold
E
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears
[Verse 3]
E
We talked a bit about Mobile
D B A B A D B A B A
And thought about how it has never changed
B
I told her I was a comin' home
E
To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain
E
She asked if she could see me then
D B A B A D B A B A
And we could spend some time now and then
B
Because I lived so far away
E
Was still no chance why we could not be friends
E
I drove her to the waiting plane
D B A B A D B A B A
Watched that big jet streaking through the sky
B
Thought about the sad young girl
E
And the time that I just saw her cry
E
That flame must still be burning bright
D B A B A D B A B A
I think I'll catch a later flight today
B
It's time for me to go on home
E
And spend a day or two down by the bay
