A B E A

The last time I saw her she was wavin' me goodbye

She'll never know, never know

E A B E

A B E A

I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles

A A B E

But they took away my money and my pride

A B E A

I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well

A A A A B

Livin' out the gutter ain't so easy to describe

A B E A

But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band

A B E

Workin' in a smoky downtown bar

A B E A

When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand

A A A A A

Said, 'put your mark along here boy

I'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'

Well the years have come and gone

E A

And I was passing through to find

A A B E

That my home town was still the same to see

E A B E A

Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind

A A A A A B

I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me

Chorus:

Please tell her that I said hello

Never know, never know

repeat E A B 2 times mmmmmhhh yeah

And if I can get out now, she'll never know
