Intro: C 

C 
Well I used to know someone fair 
C 
She had orange ribbons in her hair 
        F 
She was such a trip 

She was hardly there 
      C 
But I loved her 

Just the same. 


C 
There was rain in our window, 
C 
The FM set was ragged 
    F 
But she could talk, yeah, 

We learned to speak 
C 
And one year has gone by 

C 
Such a long long road to seek it 
C 
All we did was break and freak it 
       F 
We had all that lovers ever had 
C 
We just blew it and I'm not sad 
C 
Well I'm mad and I'm bad 
C 
And two years have gone by 


C 
Now her world was bright orange 
C 
And the fire glowed 
        F 
And her friend had a baby 
        C 
And she lived with us 
C 
Yeah, we broke through the window 
C 
Yeah, we knocked on the door 
      F 
Her phone would not answer, 
      C 
Yeah, but she's still home 


C 
Now her father has passed over 
C 
and her sister is a star 
        F 
and her mother smokes diamonds 
        C 
and she sleeps out in the car 


C 
Yeah, but she remembers Chicago 
C 
The musicians & guitars 
    F 
and grass by the lake 
    C 
and people who laugh'd 
C    
and made her poor heart ache 


C 
Now we live down in the valley 
C 
We work out on the farm 
     F 
We climb up to the mountains 
    C 
and everything's fine 

C 
and I'm still here 
C 
and you're still there 
C 
and we're still around
