after the first time through
Here's the song:
G5 G/f# C5 D5
I asked her to stay here with me a while, Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said
C5 G5 D5 D5 C5 G5 D(not C5 as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
G5 G/f# C5 9 D5
So I asked her to come back some other time, O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-
C5 G5 D5 D5 C5 G5 C5
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
outro:
G5 C5 D5 G5 C5 D5
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G5 C5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
E5 C5 D5 G5 E5 C5 D5 G5
Maybe next time, I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.
