[Eb]
But as I said, [D] the point is the song, so please [Eb] let's return to [Bb] Jim Webb with Jim Webb.
[Eb] [Dm] [G]
I was [Gm] a sophomore in [Dm]
college, [Eb] junior college, in a place called San Bernardino, [Gm] California.
[Ab] And [Gm] it [Ab]
was semester finals [Gm] time, and I [Eb] became inspired to write a musical.
[Cm] And I did [Fm] write a musical.
[Gm] It took me six days and six nights.
[Ab]
On the seventh day, I [Eb] rested.
[Gm]
[Eb]
And [C]
[G] I [C] look [G] back on the last six days [C] and realize that I had been writing my brilliant new [Bb] musical
[Dm] while the rest of the students were having their semester [G] finals.
[F] [G] And [Bb]
I [Eb] found myself kicked out of college.
[C] [G] [C]
[G] Not only that, but the musical was never produced.
[Bb] [D] [Eb]
[Gm] [C] [G]
[Gm] I would like to play a
[Cm] song from [Bb] the second act of an unsuccessful, [Cm] unproduced musical.
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Gm] I might say that when I was writing [Ab] this musical, I think I was doing my [Fm] best to emulate
[Bb] [Eb] two fine [Ab] English composers named Newley and Brickus.
[Bb]
[Cm]
[F] [Gm]
[Cm] This time [Bb] we almost made [Cm] a [Bb] piece of [D] sound
[G]
[Gm] Ah, didn't we, [Bb] girl?
[Eb] [F] This time [Cm] we [Gm] almost [Ab] made
some [G] sense of [Eb] it, oh [F] [Bb] yes
[Cm] Didn't we, [D] girl?
[Ab] [Gm]
This time
[D]
I had the answer
[Gm]
right here in my
[E] hand
Then [Eb] I touched it [Gm] and
[Cm] [Dm] it had [Eb] turned to sand
[Cm] This time [Bb] we
[Gm] almost sang our song [F] in [G]
tune, oh
Didn't [Gm] we, girl?
[F] This time [Cm] we almost [Gm] [G] made [Ab] it
[G]
to the [Eb] moon, [Cm] oh [Bb] now
[Cm]
Didn't we, [D] girl?
[Gm] This time [G] we almost [D]
made
[Gm] our poem rhyme
Yes, and [Eb] this time
[Gm] we almost made that
[Cm]
[Am]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Gm] long time
[Cm] [G] Didn't we, [Cm] I
[Gb] can't
this [Eb] time
[Bb] [Dm] [Bb] Didn't [Cm]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Fm] [Bb] [F] [C] [Cm]
[F] [Bb]
