Capo: 3rd Fret
Intro: Em (walk up) G Bm (continued throughout the whole song)
Em
Come my love and we will walk hand in hand together we’ll talk
G Bm Em
Why not go out and play way up Saginaw Way
Em
No my dear I said before a patient man ‘ed suit me more
G Bm Em
I’ll wait another year, till my mind is clear
Em
But what about this gold band, shinning for your pretty white hand
G Bm Em
Lovin’ words I mean to say, way up Saginaw Way
Em
No I believe it would be sin to wed without my mother and kin’
G Bm Em
And I will not have it said, I was hastin’ you when
(solo)
Em
Now there’s no cost to worry dear, your kin’ will come as soon as they hear
G Bm Em
If the church bells ring today, way up Saginaw Way
Em
So he took his love and they did walk, hand in hand together they talk
G Bm Em
Under skies both dead and gray, way up Saginaw Way
