[Intro] C F G C F G C [Verse 1]
F     G
  She looked me over
And I guess she thought
      C
I was all right

F     G
  All right in a sort of a limited way

       C
For an off-night

F          G
  She said don't I know you

                           C
From the cinematographer's party?

F        G
  I said who am I

                    C
To blow against the wind?
[Chorus]
  F           G
I know what I know

                 C
I'll sing what I said

   F           G
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
       C
In the back of my head

  F           G
I know what I know

                 C
I'll sing what I said

We come and we go

F                  G
  She said there's something about you

                          C
That really reminds me of money

F             G
  She was the kind of a girl
Who could say things that
             C
Weren't that funny

F        G
  I said what does that mean

                       C
I really remind you of money?

F          G

F     G
  She moved so easily

                         C
All I could think of was sunlight

F        G
  I said aren't you the woman

                         C
Who was recently given a Fulbright?

F          G
  She said don't I know you

                           C
