[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F
He never wrote a song for Linda
Am D
He wrote as though he lived alone
G C B
He wrote of dreams that end and of sad brave men
Em E
Inventing worlds he never known
[Chorus]
Am Gm F
But he never wrote a song for Linda
Em Dm C F D E
And she was right there all along
Am Gm
Loved him back to life
F Em
When his luck ran low
F G C Fm F C
But he never wrote a Linda song
[Verse 2]
C F
He nearly broke his heart at writing
Am D
Linda kept him from despair
G C B
Standing by his side, through the hungry days
Em E
But he hardly seemed to see her there
[Chorus]
Am Gm F
And he never wrote a song for Linda
Em Dm C F D E
And she was right there all along
Am Gm F Em
The one real thing in his crazy world
F G C Fm F C
And he never wrote a Linda song
[Bridge]
C C G F Am
When the bills piled up and couldn't pay
A# C
He couldn't dream no more
G Am
So he hitched a ride and he road away
Fm F Am D
And he left a note for Linda by the door
G
By the door
[Verse 3]
C F
When times got rough he'd phone her
Am D
Once or twice she took the call
G C B
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
Em E
And Linda never looked back at all
[Chorus]
Am Gm F
He'll never write a song for Linda
Em Dm C F D E
And she was right there all along
Am Gm F Em
All he knows, is no one understands
F G C Fm F C
And he never wrote a Linda song
F G C Fm F C
No, he never wrote a Linda song
