Listening to Levon by Marc Cohn
Capo 3
D Bm G D
I was sitting with Mary In my dad's blue Valiant
D Bm G A7
Rain was coming down And the radio was playing
D Bm G D
Mary was talking A million miles a minute
Bm G D
I could not hear one word she was saying
Chorus
D Bm
Cause I was lost, I was gone
G D
Listening to Levon
Bm G A7
In another world, In another place
D Bm G D
I was was lost, I was gone, Listening to Levon
Bm E G D
I was looking at Mary's eyes, but I was listening to Levon
D G D A7
D Bm G D
Mary's hair was black, That much I remember
D Bm G A7
Mary's was skin was smooth, I remember that too
D Bm G D
And she opened her eyes Sometimes when she kissed me
Bm G D
I don't know why she did that, Maybe Mary knew
Chorus
D Bm
Cause I was lost, I was gone
G D
Listening to Levon
Bm G A7
In another world, In another place
D Bm G D
I was was lost, I was gone, Listening to Levon
Bm E G D G D A7
I was looking at the girl, But I was listening to Levon
Bridge
F#
I changed her name
G tacit D A7
To protect the innocent
F# G tacit D
I might have even lied About the car
F# G D
this is just to say Sorry if I hurt you
G D A7 D
But Mary if you're out there You know who you are
D G D A7
(spoken) I'm sorry Mary
D Bm G D
It serves me right if You can't even hear me singing
D Bm G A7
If you tuned me out a long time ago
D Bm G D
And it served me right If you already changed the station
Bm G A7
And you're listening right now to that old boy on the radio
D Bm G D
And you're lost And you're gone Listening to Levon
Bm G A7
In another world From some other place
D Bm G D
Are you lost? Are you gone? Listening to Levon Bm E G D G D A7
Is there a smile your face while you're listening to Levon?
