[Intro]

A Amaj7

[Verse 1]

A Amaj7 A Amaj7

His goal in life was to be an echo

A Amaj7 Bm

Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll

Dm A Amaj7 A Amaj7

A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her

A Amaj7 C#m E

She appears in his dreams

F#m F#mMaj7

But in his car and in his arms

Bm D

A dream can mean anything

Dm C

A cheap sunset on a television set could upset her

But he never could

[Chorus]

C#m E

Remember to remember me

C#m E7

Standing still in your past

E7addC A

Floating fast like a hummingbird

[Verse 2]

E Emaj7 C#m Emaj7

His goal in life was to be an echo

The type of sound that floats around

Emaj7 F#m

And then back down like a feather

But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans

No one could hear him

Or anything

E Emaj7 G#m B

So he slept on a mountain

C#m G#/C#

In a sleeping bag underneath the stars

F#m A

He would lie awake and count them

And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way

G B

Would never let him die alone

[Chorus]

E Emaj7

Remember to remember me

C#m E7

Standing still in your past

E7addC A

Floating fast like a hummingbird

E Emaj7

Remember to remember me

C#m E7

Standing still in your past

A B

Floating fast like a hummingbird, hummingbird
