NOTES:
This is a sweet song that is very easy to play. It was released as a single
b/w "Thank You Very Much" in 1974, so you might have missed it first time 
around. Rarer now than hens' teeth...

Guitar Figure 1 continues in the verses.


INTRO:
Notes:
I've indicated barrés in the guitar figure. which you might want to play if
you have an electric, but open chords work OK everywhere.


[play: Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]

VERSE:
I walked up to her and took her by the hand.
I said, "Sad lady, yes, I understand,"
"And I will stay with you, if you want me to,"
"And we can sing this song together..."


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
After the music of the rock 'n' roll show,
I started walking home somewhere special to go.
Our love grows stronger as time goes by
And we can still remember singing...


[repeat CHORUS]  [x2]
