One of the best songs ever, it first grabbed my attention on the film Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas (also an amazing book!)
D Am
There you stood on the edge of your feather
G A
Expecting to fly
D Am
While I laughed, I wondered whether
G A D
I could wave goodbye
G C
Knowin' that you'd gone
Dm G
By the summer it was healing
C F
We had said goodbye
Dm G
All the years we'd spent with feeling
C F
Ended with a cry
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F
Babe, ended with a cry
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 D
Babe, ended with a cry
D Am
I tried so hard to stand
G A
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
D Am
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
G A D
And reached for the love I found
G C
Knowin' it was gone
Dm G
If I never lived without you
C F
Now you know I'd die
Dm G
If I never said I loved you
C F
Now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F
Babe, now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F
Babe, now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Babe
Enjoy,
Chris
