Intro  C  F G  C F G  C 

F     G     
  She looked me over 

And I guess she thought 
      C  
I was all right 
F     G                     
  All right in a sort of a limited way 
       C   
For an off-night 
F          G             
  She said don't I know you 
                           C 
From the cinematographer's party? 
F        G 
  I said who am I 
                    C 
To blow against the wind? 


  F           G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C   
In the back of my head 
  F          :G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C              F G  C F G  C  
In the back of my head 


F                  G     
  She said there's something about you 
                          C  
That really reminds me of money 
F             G                     
  She was the kind of a girl 

Who could say things that 
             C   
Weren't that funny 
F        G             
  I said what does that mean 
                       C 
I really remind you of money? 
F          G 
  She said who am I 
                    C 
To blow against the wind? 


  F           G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C   
In the back of my head 
  F           G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C              F G  C F G  C  
In the back of my head 


F     G     
  She moved so easily 
                         C  
All I could think of was sunlight 
F        G                     
  I said aren't you the woman 
                         C   
Who was recently given a Fulbright? 
F          G             
  She said don't I know you 
                           C 
From the cinematographer's party 
F        G 
  I said who am I 
                    C 
To blow against the wind? 


  F           G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C   
In the back of my head 
  F           G 
I know what I know 
                 C 
I'll sing what I said 
   F           G 
We come and we go 

That's a thing that I keep 
       C              F G  C F G  C  
In the back of my head 

Repeat and fade: 
  F           G    C  
I know what I know 
  F           G    C  
I know what I know
