Dan, My Fling - From Carly Simon's Debut Album - 1971 Verse 1:
 G                   C
I said that I felt jailed up

 G                   C
As if our doors were nailed up

 G                   A
I said I needed separate places

 D7sus            D7
Parties, room to move around in

 G                  C
I said I needed my fling

 G                            C
Had to get out and do some other thing

 G                      A
It took me months to calculate

D7sus                     D7
That I had nothing left without you
Chorus:
C      G          F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out

G               C      G       Am     D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 2:
G                        C
I thought I'd try and write you

G                        C
I thought I'd try and phone you

G                       A
I thought I'd try to tell you

D7sus                             D7
That I smell your hair still on my pillow

G                           C
But you'd just smile to please me

G                           C
You'd shake your head and you'd tease me

G                              A
Remind me it was I who first claimed

D7sus                     D7
That we both required freedom
Chorus:
C         G       F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out

G                 C    G      Am      D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 3:
G                      C
I'd dream up schemes to meet you

G                    C
I'd nonchalantly greet you

G                   A
I'd ask you up for coffee

D7sus            D7
Anytime you had an hour open

G                  C
You say you like my hair long

G                  C
You ask me if I've written any new songs

G                          A
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street

D7sus               D7
And leave me dizzy with your laughter
Chorus:
C        G        F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out

G              C      G        Am     D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 4:
G                        C
I hear you're leaving this town

G                        C
You and some girl gonna travel around

G                           A
You bought a car with foldback seats

D7sus                             D7
You'll camp out by the lakes and forests

G                    C
I lie alone in our old bed

G                             C
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head

G                           A
I close my eyes, I smell your hair

D7sus                      D7
It's like I haven't slept in years
Chorus:
C         G       F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out

G                C      G      Am      
Now I've got to fall back on dreams 

D7      G     C  G   C  G  C  G 
Dreams of you… Hmmmmm, hmmmmm hmmmm.
