Steve Forbert - January 23-30, 1978 lyrics

rate me

(try capoing up 3)

G D Am G D

Plane comes down on the old runway, home again for a week I'll stay

G D Am G D

Hanging out like I used to do, hope to find some old friends I knew

G D Am G D

Hear the news in the honky tonk, who got married, yes, and who split up G

D Am G D

Drinking beer while the jukebox plays, brand new songs for brand new days

C G D Am

Quiet nights and empty streets, sleepy town, humble home

C G D

Same old waltz in the wind, by the railroad track

G D Am G D

Riding out to a country bridge, moonlight shining across the ridge

G D Am G

Frozen trees neath a billion stars, 7 friends jammed in Robby's car

C G D Am

High as kites and wild and gone, drunk as well and laughing loud

C G D

Back at home I say good night (Good night) and I close the door

G D Am G

Sunday morning the church bell rings, the organ plays and the choir

D G D Am

sings. Where am I while the preacher speaks? Dreaming dreams neath

G D

my sheets asleep

C G D Am C

Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do? I rub

G D

my eyes and I shake my head and feel the sun

G D Am G

Plane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground

D G D Am G

today Lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my New York

D G D Am D

door. fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you I

G D Am

ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a G

D

friend in me

C G D Am

City lights blink and shine, down below, let it change

C G D

It's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what?

(yeah) G D Am
