F Ebsus2
I was in love with you oh before I knew
Bb Bb_
It meant more than just wanting to be with you
Fsus2 G7 Run
I used to look for other girls that looked like you
F Ebsus2
But the laws of nature said forget it son
Bb Bb
Least that's what somebody told me
Fsus2 G7 Run
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
I dreamt that you we Joan of Arc
and I was Don Quixote
And everywhere we went the world was tinfoil
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/john-hartford/243691.html ]
But I gave up dreaming and became a priest
It put it right out of my system
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
Chorus:
Dm C
Now you used to play the guitar
Dm C Bb Gm
We worked in a country band
Dm C Gm C Gm7 C
We hung out down on the river bank on Sun---Days
Bb F
Your brother was my closest friend
Gm7 Fmaj7
He drove a pickup truck
Bb F C C Gm7 C
He used to bring me home sometimes from highschool
Now I was fifteen oh the very first time
Love broke completely inside me
We were young and we were learning about it together
And we had enough of what we thought we'd need of those
Well known secret fables
We worried about it a little bit, but that's all
I regret that life won't be long enough
To make love to all the women that I'd like to
Or least of all to live with the ones I've loved
But I've never regretted a love affair
Except one but that's all over
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
Now I heard you lived way up north
Your kids are fat and plenty
And I haven't seen you brother since way last Easter
And if every other girl in the whole wide world
Was just a little bit more like you
I'd worry about it a little bit, but that's all
Chorus
