Silver Jews – I Remember Me (Guitar)

C         F             C
He almost walked into a wall

C        F                  C
Oh, man, she was a sight to see

C         Am    F          C
And at the party down the hall

C                     F                    C
He said, "you are the highest apple in the tree"

C                      F               C
Out the window, in the harbor he saw a little ship

C                      F               C
The moon was worn just slightly on the right

C             Am            F               C
And they slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip

C         F                    C
Until the room was filled with light

        F
And I remember you

        C
And I remember me

    E
The sunshine walking inside you

        Am
And the man you could see in me

       F
So I remember me

        C
And I remember you

        E
So many beautiful days in a row now

        Am
And the nights were perfect, too

C                   F                   C
Hand in hand down a waterslide in Chattanooga

C            F                   C
They did not hide from love, you see

C          Am               F C
A winter's plane flight to Aruba

C                F                C
Where he threw a boombox into the sea

C                         F                        C
One day they were cutting flowers for something to do

C                  F                      C
On the bank of the road 'neath the cotton woods

C                Am                  F     C
And he turned to her to ask if she'd marry him

C              F                      C
When a runaway truck hit him where he stood

       F
So I remember you

        C
And I remember you

        E
And I remember you-hoo-hoo

            Am
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

        F
And I remember me

        C
And I remember me

  E
A blackhawk nailed to the sky

        Am
And the tape is from the trees

C         F                       C
Everybody said she needed to move on

C                   F                     C
That he was all but lost, so deep was his coma

C                    Am                       F    C
When he finally came to the girl he loved was long gone

C               F                      C
She'd married a banker and gone to Oklahoma

C                  F                            C
He bought a little land with the money from the settlement

C                   F                           C
And even bought the truck that had hit him that day

C              Am             F         C
He touched the part where the metal was bent

C               F                           C
And if you were there you wouldn't hear him say

    F
I remember her

        C
And I remember him

    F
I remember them

    C
I remember then

           F
I'm just remembering

           C
I'm just remembering

       F
Just remembering

           C
I'm just remembering
