Music & Lyrics by Tim Buckley As Performed by Jeff Buckley Concert: Tim Buckley Tribute Concert, Venue: St. Ann's Church, New York Date: 26th April 1991. [Intro] | D | Gmaj7 | | D | D7 | Gmaj7 | | D | D7 | Gmaj7 | | D | D7 | Gmaj7 | [Verse 1]
 D            Gmaj7
Once i was a soldier

 D                      Gmaj7
And i fought on foreign sands for you

 D           Gmaj7
Once i was a hunter

 D                 Gmaj7
And i brought home fresh meat for you

 D           Gmaj7
Once i was a lover

 D                         Gmaj7
And i searched behind your eyes for you

 D                    Gmaj7
And soon there'll be another

D            Gmaj7
To tell you I was just a lie
[Chorus]
Bm           G
Sometimes I wonder

            A
Just for a while

Bm                   A   Bm
Do you ever remember me
[Interlude] | D | D7 | Gmaj7 | | D | Gmaj7 | [Verse 2]
 D                    Gmaj7
And though you have forgotten

D           Gmaj7
All of our rubbish dreams

D              Gmaj7
I find myself searching

  D                      Gmaj7
Through the ashes of our ruins
[Bridge]
 D                    Gmaj7
For the days when we smiled

 D                     Gmaj7
And the hours that ran wild

 D                    Gmaj7
With the magic of our eyes

 D                     Gmaj7
And the silence of our words
[Chorus] N.C And sometimes i wonder N.C Just for a while N.C Will you remember me
