[C]
[G] [C]
He was never there when needed, [F] and oh how much he pleaded, [C] saying,
Darling, won't you stay home just [G] one [Bm] time?
[G]
He [C] just smiled and said, I'm sorry, [F] but there's no need to worry,
Going [C] to meet [F] some [C] army buddies, drink [G] some beer and fight [C] the war.
In the kitchen making wishes, [F] as she tidied up the dishes,
[C] On another [F] [C] lonely weekend, on a wine she [G] drank alone,
And [C] the nights they hold no pity, [D] [F] in the cold of New York City,
[C] While she waits [F] there in [C] the darkness, to hear [G] his key turn in [C] the door.
Then one night [F] he came [C] home sober, [F] with a longing just to haunt her,
[C] When he found an old sheet written, waiting by the [G] telephone,
[C] And she said, [F] I'll [C] always love you, [F] and I never will forget you,
[C] But I just can't take this lonely [G] feeling [D] [C] anymore.
She [G] said, I'm going to California, to [F] taste the sunshine [C] and the wine,
[F] Sit beside the [C] rolling ocean, and slowly [G] pass the time,
[C] Reading books [F] and [C] old love stories, [F] and forget about my worries,
[C] And maybe, [F] who [C] knows maybe, [G] we'll meet again [C] sometime.
[F] [C] [G]
[D] [C] Now the nights are long and lonely, [F] as he sits and watches TV,
[C] Drinking beer [F] and [C] chasing whiskey, wondering where it [G] all went wrong,
[C] And his [F] eyes are [C] tired and burning, [F] from the dreams that keep returning,
[C] And [F] all he [C] shares to days, [G] they won't leave him [C] alone.
She [G] said, I'm going to California, to [F] taste the sunshine [C] and the wine,
[F] Sit beside the [C] rolling ocean, and slowly [Am] pass the [G] time,
[C] Reading books [F] and [C] old love stories, [F] and forget about my worries,
[C] And [F] maybe, [C] who knows maybe, [G] we'll meet again [C]
sometime.
And [F] maybe, [C] who knows [Em] maybe, [G] we'll meet again [C] sometime.
