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

                         G
And I've been on the road since Christmas
G
But it don't seem so long
A                                   D
Outside of that there isn't much to say.
G
I cut down on my drinkin' some
                       Bm   Em
And wrote another song
Em                  F#m             Bm
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way

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

       G
Do the neighbors still complain a bit
G
When the music gets too loud?
A                                       D
Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
G
And do you still walk around
                                  Bm  Em
With your head up in the clouds?
Em               F#m               Bm
Have you heard a single thing I've said?

A
It's a two day drive to New York
G                D
Guess I'd better go
Em                   F#m               Bm
Have you noticed the weather's gettin' cold?

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