David Crosby     Natalie       written by Steven Bishop

E9           E
First time I saw her
        E9        E
She was still in school
E9
Chewin' on a pencil
        E
Playin' pool
        A             F#m
Stayin' up all night
        E         E9 E E9 E
Full of dreams
E9             E
I've known her family
      E9           E
Ever since we were small
E9
Gettin' in trouble
            E
Drivin' our folks up the wall
B       A
Wastin' time
                   E   E9 E  E9 E
Yeah....but we had fun
E
She was gonna
         A9
Ride her bike to China
     Bsus4              B
Sail away on a bottle top
           E
And as the years passed by
            F#9               F#
One night I held her close to me
A9
That was the first time I
       Bsus4 B
Said I love you
   E        E9 E E9 E
To Natalie
E9           E
Carousel was crowded
      E9           E
So we talked for a while
E9
Natalie said, "Baby,
           E
You know I miss your smile...
              A        F#m
Whenever you go away
          E   E9 E E9 E
Away from me
              A9
You know that time starts tickin'
        Bsus4          B
When a love starts to fade
       Esus4          E
I knew something was wrong but still
  F#9               F#
I thought we had it made
A
The first time I
       Bsus4 B
Said I love you
   E
To Natalie
A9
That was the first time I
       Bsus4 B
Said I love you
   A      E
To Natalie
      D           F#m
Now I look at her pictures
      A           B
And I talk to the walls
D            F#m
Call out her name
     D        A
But She don't hear
       E
Me at all

SOLO
            A
And she got wild and restless
      Bsus4
Tried everything
           B
She could take
    E
One night I tried to stop her
    F#9        F#
But I was too late
A
That was the last time I
       Bsus4 B
Said I love you
   E
To Natalie
    A
And that was the last time I
        Bsus4 B
Said I love you
   E
To Natalie
