[Verse 1]
C D
Three streets off the grid, we were barely kids
Dm G Cadd9 C
But we were old enough to drink in Louisiana
C D
We listened to ‘The King Must Die’, ‘On the Willows’ drank the wine
Dm G Cadd9 C
We could afford from the work study manna
Am Em
Were were young but not that young
Dm C
To be cutting our fingers and mixing our blood
Dm C G
Climbing the fence of the St. Louis cemetery
Am Em
We caught on my heart’s desire
F C
Big as the 1788 fire
Dm C
Put on Little Queenie and bring me another whiskey
[Chorus]
C Em Am
Elizabeth, the last I heard, you’re in Savannah
F C Dm G
You got married after art school happily
C Am
I didn’t want to look you up, I’m pretty sure it’s just enough
F G C/G
That I remember you fondly
[Verse 2]
C D
I didn’t have a car, but I did have a guitar
Dm G Cadd9 C
And I played to my advantage when you let me
C D
I only stayed 2 years, but it still appears
Dm G Cadd9 C
After all of this time the memories still get me
Am Em
I was young but not that young
Dm C
To be tied in a knot that was coming undone
Dm C G
The spooks and haunts that vexed me veiled my eyes
Am Em
It was always dark back then
F C
It was always 3 am
Dm C
I shake my head to think I made it out alive
[Chorus]
C Em Am
Elizabeth, the last I heard, you’re in Savannah
F C Dm G
You got married after art school happily
C Am
I didn’t want to look you up, I’m pretty sure it’s just enough
F G
Put on Little Queenie and bring me another whiskey
[Bridge]
G
Out at night under the lights
F C
Some band is singing a memory
Am Em F G
Everybody hits record to play it back over time
G
But when I look back on our dance
F
I only wanna hear that music once
Am Em F G
And remember it forever in my mind
[Chorus]
C Em Am
Elizabeth, the last I heard, you’re in Savannah
F C Dm G
You got married after art school happily
C Am
I didn’t want to look you up, I’m pretty sure it’s just enough
F G
Put on Little Queenie and bring me another whiskey
F G F C/G
That I remember you fondly
