Capo on the 3rd Fret
[Chorus]
G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
D C G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
[Verse 1]
G
I've been a lot of places all around the way
G
I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain
C
But I don't want to write a love song for the world
G
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
G
Junkies on the corner, always calling my name
G
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
C
When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you
D
And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true
[Chorus]
G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
D C G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
[Verse 2]
G
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
G
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
C
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
G
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know
D C
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
G
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
D C
My momma told me don't lose you
G
'Cause the best luck I had was you
[Chorus]
G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
D C G
But I know one thing, that I love you [baby girl]
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
[Bridge]
Em
And I say, rocking in the dance, hall moving with you
G
I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you
Em
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
G
I say, hey, trippa, trippa, got to shoot
Em
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
G
I say, hey momma, close to you
Em
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
D
I say, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
[Verse 3]
G
My momma told me don't lose you
G
'Cause the best luck I had was you
C G
And I know one thing that I love you
[Chorus]
G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
D C G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
D C G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
D C G
[Outro]
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you
D C G
I love you, I love you, I love you
