Play in D or F – – – Remember Song, Tom Rush

[D] Lookin‘ for my wallet and my [G] car keys, [A]

Well, they can’t have gone too [D] far

As soon as I find my [G] glasses, [A]

I’m sure I’ll see just where they [D] are

Supposed to meet someone for [G] lunch today, [A]

I just can’t remember [D] where, Or who it is I am [G] meeting, [A]

It’s in my organizer [D] somewhere.

I think I left it on the [G] counter,

Or maybe [A] outside in the car [D]

Last time I remember [G] driving, [A]

Was to that Memory Enhancement [D] Seminar

What’s that far-off distant [G] ringing,

In that [A] strangely familiar tone [D]

Must be the person I am [G] meeting,

Calling on my [A] brand new cordless telephone [D]

I might have left it under the [G] covers, [A]

Or maybe outside on the [D] lawn

Now I’ve got just one more [G] ring to go, [A]

Before my answering machine kicks [D] on.

“Hi, this is Bill, And your call means a [G] lot to me, [A]

So Leave a message at the [D] tone,

And I will do my best to [G] remember [A]

To call you back when I get [D] home”, (beep)

Bill, this is [G] Gwendolyn, [A] And I am trying not to [D] cry,

But I’ve been waiting here for over an [G] hour [A]

I thought you loved me, this is [D] good-bye!”

Well the voice sounds [G] familiar, [A]

And the name it rings a [D] bell,

Let’s see now where [G] was I[A] Oh,well [D]
