And she’d say: “I love (A9)you.”
But once on (Gmaj7)shore, it’s (F#m7)not such a snap, You (G6)get the cold shoul der, The old run a round,
You’re left with no one but (D9)you.

And there is (C6)no
one (Em)wait ing (G7)there (Em)for (Dm7)you,
Then it’s a (Emaj7)lone ly town.
You wan der up and (B)down,
The crowds rush (A)by,

And ev ’ry (G#m)town’s
