Key: D
Introduction: D
D G D A D
If you see him, say hello, he might be in Tangier
D G D C A
He left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Bm G D
Say for me that I'm all right though
G
things get kind of slow
Bm A
He might think that I've forgotten him,
G D
Don't tell him it isn't so.
D G D A D
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
D G D
And to think of how he left that night,
C A
it still brings me a chill
Bm G D
And though our separation,
G
it pierced me to the heart
Bm A G D
He still lives inside of me, we've never been apart
D G D A D
If you get close to him, kiss him once for me
G D
I always have respected him
CA
for doing what he did and gettin' free
Bm G D
Oh, whatever makes him happy,
G
I won't stand in the way
Bm A
Though the bitter taste still lingers on
G D
from the night I tried to make him stay
D G DA
I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
G D
And I hear his name here and there
CA
as I go from town to town
Bm G D
And I've never gotten used to it,
G
I've just learned to turn it off
Bm A G D
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
D G D A D
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
G D
I know every scene by heart,
CA
they all went by so fast
Bm G D
If he's passin' back this way,
G
I'm not that hard to find
Bm A G D
Tell him he can look me up if he's got the time.
