Intro: E5 x3


Verse one:
      C#5      B5          A5         E5
I'll never forget you my American love
           C#5     B5           A5           E5
and I'll always remember you, wild as they come
      A5                       B5              C#5
and though if I saw you, I'd pretend not to know
     A5                          B5            C#5
The place where you were in my heart is now closed
     A5               B5           E5
I already live with too many ghosts


Verse two:
      C#5       B5         A5           E5
Now everybody lately is living up in space
 C#5           B5                 A5        E5
Flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves
       A5                          B5            C#5
With everything discovered just waiting to be known
   A5                   B5              C#5
What's left for God to teach from his throne?
     A5          B5                 E5
And who will forgive us when he's gone?


Chorus:
    A5             E5
So take what you need now Honey
A5                 E5
and do what you like
A5                 E5               B5
Don't worry about me, Momma, I'm all right


Verse three:
    C#5                B5
And I can't stand the weather
     A5               E5
No I never liked the rain
     C#5         B5              A5     E5
We drink on the job then we go home early
       A5                          B5           C#5
and I remember how she looked so good in that dress
     A5                      B5                     C#5
Now she just screams how I promised her more than this
        A5     
Take it easy baby
B5             E5
It ain't over yet


Chorus two:
A5                 E5
So take what you need now Honey
A5               E5
and do what you like
A5                  E5               B5
Don't worry about me, Momma, I'm all right

    A5                         E5
and if there's something you need
  A5                         E5
and if there's something you find
A5         B5                   C#5
whatever gets you through the night
A5         B5                   E5
whatever gets you through the night


Outro:
     C#5      B5          A5            E5
I'll never will forget you my American love
           C#5     B5           A5           E5
and I'll always remember you, wild as they do come
A5   B5  
Umhm
