[G] 20th of April, [A] 1990,
[D] thought I'd [A] write [D] and say hello.
Are you [Em] surprised you [D] got this letter?
[A] It all seemed so [Bm] long ago.
Sitting here alone [A] I was thinking,
memories [D] came rolling back.
I [G] felt a strange [D] kind of sadness,
then I [A] knew we [D] had to speak.
I had [A] to say hello to the [Bm] one I loved.
[D]
I was [A] scared to be among [Bm] those poor people.
[D] Today I'm not afraid of [A] anyone,
[G] I'm afraid of the future.
[D] The sky [A] has changed,
[G] has changed.
[D] I [A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [G] wish you life and [A] I wonder
[Dm] [A] how'd you get on with [D] that guy.
Maybe you've even got kids now.
[G] I [A] hope it all works [Bm] out fine.
Me, [G] I just go [A] on as usual,
[D] the [A] same old road [D] that I ride.
Though I [G] don't get tired [D] of the music,
[G] [A] sometimes I'm empty [D]
inside.
[A] Recuerdas aquel noche en el [Bm] caballo del rumbo,
[D] vas a [A] esconder a tu tío y vas [Bm] a buscar a los congos.
[D] Hoy no quiere [A] cajar [G] de los vientos,
[D] y los que han [A]
cambiado,
[G] han cambiado.
[Bm]
[D] [A] [D] The
[A] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] time [A]
[D] [A] [D]
[A] I was going,
[D]
drop me a [A] line [D] if you like.
Meanwhile these words that I have saved you,
I [A] hope they stay [Bm] in your mind.
[G] Goodbye girl, [A] it was nothing,
[Dm]
maybe we'll meet [Bm] again soon.
[D] I'll carry [G] on [D] with my music,
you carry [A] on [Bm] with your dreams.
[D]
[A] Recuerdas aquel noche en el [Bm] caballo del rumbo,
[D]
a veces que nos veíamos [Bm] antes todos juntos.
[D] Hoy no quiere cajar de [A] [G] los vientos,
[D] y los que han [A] cambiado,
[G] han cambiado.
[Bm]
[D] [A] [D] Thank you.
