A5                         A(?)
It's a long time since I saw you last
A5                     A(?)
So tell me how you've been
E5                  F#5             B5
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
A5                     A(?)
Do the flowers in you window box
A5                         A(?)
Still smile when you walk in?
E5               F#5            B5
Did you read the letters that I wrote?

                         G5
And I've been on the road since Christmas
G5
But it don't seem so long
A5                                   D5
Outside of that there isn't much to say.
G5
I cut down on my drinkin' some
                       B5   E5
And wrote another song
E5                  F#5             B5
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way

A5                A(?)
Remember all the mornings
A5                    A(?)
We'd walk around the park
E5                F#5             B5
The nights we babysat for Billy's kids
A5                    A(?)
And all the times we used to talk
A5                 A(?)
Of having one ourselves
E5               F#5          B5
I don't remember why we never did

       G5
Do the neighbors still complain a bit
G5
When the music gets too loud?
A5                                       D5
Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
G5
And do you still walk around
                                  B5  E5
With your head up in the clouds?
E5               F#5               B5
Have you heard a single thing I've said?

A5
It's a two day drive to New York
G5                D5
Guess I'd better go
E5                   F#5               B5
Have you noticed the weather's gettin' cold?

A5                            A(?)
And it's a long time since I saw you last
A5                  A(?)
Tell me how you've been
E5                  F#5             B5
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
E5                  F#5             B5
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
