Chicago – Byblos (Guitar)

Dm7       Em7
I saw her once before

Ebmaj7     Fmaj7
She didn't turn me on

Bbmaj7        Dm7
One night she stopped to talk

  Asus2 Am
To pass the time

Dm7        Em7
And then I saw her eyes

Ebmaj7     Fmaj7
Her softly smiling glow

Bbmaj7     Dm7                 Asus2 Am
We sat and talked all night at Byblos

Cmaj7
She talked of feelings

       Fmaj7
That I knew were true

Dm7
She painted me a picture

            Bm7          Esus2
Using every shade of blue

Am7               Fmaj7
It was light with laughter

   Cmaj7            Dm7
At times it made me cry

Bbmaj7       Ebmaj7          Bm7          Esus2       Am7      Cm7
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her

   Am7        Cm7
To squeeze her

Am7         Cm7               Am7            Cm7        Dbm7
To kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her

Dm7            Em7
Then, soon she had to go

Ebmaj7      Fmaj7
I sat there all alone

Bbmaj7         Dm7
And thought of things she said

   Asus2  Am
The whole day through

Dm7        Em7
And then I realized

Ebmaj7  Fmaj7
I never took the time

Bbmaj7      Dm7
To find out where she lived

  Asus2  Am
Or where to call

Cmaj7                          Fmaj7
I thought that I would see her the next night

Dm7                  Bm7         Esus2
Anticipating how I'd set myself right

Am7                  Fmaj7
Then, I went back to Byblos

Cmaj7           Dm7
I sat there and waited

Bbmaj7          Ebmaj7
Feeling just a little nervous

      Bm7        Esus2
And a little frustrated

Am7    Cm7
Then, soon, in she came

Am7      Cm7
Looking just the same

Am7           Cm7
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her

Am7          Cm7
Far from the game

Ebmaj7                Abmaj7
Then a person came in to the club

Ebmaj7        Abmaj7
That I had to speak to

Ebmaj7                    Abmaj7
I explained the situation to her

Ebmaj7                  Abmaj7
And I thought she understood

Ebmaj7
But I guess she thought

      Abmaj7
I was jiving her around

Ebmaj7
Because when I looked for her

Abmaj7               Bbmaj7
This is what I found

Bmaj7    Gbmaj7        Dbmaj7                   Bbmaj7
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine

Bmaj7    Gbmaj7   Dbmaj7                  Bbmaj7
He was happening, I guess it was his time

Bmaj7             Gbmaj7
I really couldn't blame him

           Dbmaj7                 Bbmaj7
Because he was sad and lonely too

    Bmaj7               Gbmaj7
But just talking to her did me so much good

  Dbmaj7
I knew she'd do him good too

Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
Then I went home and I got it on

Dm7
Sat down to write these words

    Bm7             Esus2
When I was finally alone

Am7             Fmaj7
And then, about halfway through

Cmaj7                 Dm7
I wondered if someone knew

Bbmaj7                   Ebmaj7
Where she was so I could give her a call

      Bm7                    Esus2
And I found out that she was right down the hall

Am7     Cm7      Am7  Cm7  Dbm7
Not too far away

Dm7       Em7
But that's ok

Ebmaj7         Fmaj7
I'll just wait for the day

Bbmaj7     Dm7
When I can see her again

    Asus2 Am
And spend some time
