E      A7       E   A7
In the 60s and the 70s
E      A7       E   A7
Before we'd even met
E      A7         E         A7
I took those pin-ups to my heart
        E7                E
Cause I hadn't found you yet

In back of cab in the streets of Rome
I drunkly called a name
On 13th floor in Paris hotel
I looked north west in vain

Cm                 G
In bus shelter and phone box
     Cm                           G
Whilst piss the piss ran round my feet
 Cm                 G*         E
I caught wrong bus, rang wrong number
          A                D
Cause my life was incomplete

Cm                      G
So in case you think it wrong to ask
Cm                  G
In case I don't ask you
  Cm                G*         E
In case it may just cross your mind
   A                D
In case it don't, I do
Cm                     G
In case you think it's up to me
Cm               G
In case I need a clue
Cm                    G*     E
In case you want that bended knee
   A                 D
In case you don't, I do

In pick-up truck on dusty road
The wheel your only friend
What kept that big wheel turning
Was the thought of you at end

On desert highway hitch-hiking
Thumbing from A to B
I knew not where I headed
Before my map to thee

At foot of the Alps in Switzerland
I yodelled through the rain
And it sort of kept me going
To think you'd probably do the same

So in case you think it wrong to ask
In case I don't ask you
In case it may just cross your mind
In case it don't, I do
In case you think it's up to me
In case I need a clue
In case you want that bended knee
In case you don't, I do

C               G*
Now again we're miles apart
C                  G*
We talk but do not touch
C               G*
Water, food and alcohol
  A                 D
I miss them half as much
C                     G*
Cause halfway up that mountain pass
C                G*
No compass or no guide
C                    G*
Still don't stand me steady for
A                D
When you I'm not beside


So if you need a shelter
I guess I'll need one too
If you want the same address
Even if you don't, I do

search

I Do
