If You See Him, Say Hello

Renato Russo

Tom: D

Intro: (A G)3x D

D                G      D      A              D
If you see him, say hello, he might be in Tangier
D                  G       D                        C   A
He left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
 Bm              G       D
Say for me that I'm all right though
                    G
things get kind of slow
          Bm                 A
He might think that I've forgotten him,
       G                 D
Don't tell him it isn't so.
D         G       D    A                 D
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
         D              G         D
And to think of how he left that night,
                       C   A
it still brings me a chill 
     Bm             G  D 
And though our separation, 
                       G
it pierced me to the heart 
 Bm               A           G                 D
He still lives inside of me, we've never been apart
D           G        D  A                   D
If you get close to him, kiss him once for me
                  G      D
I always have respected him
                                   C A
for doing what he did and gettin' free
Bm                      G    D
Oh, whatever makes him happy,
                      G
I won't stand in the way
 Bm                            A 
Though the bitter taste still lingers on
          G                          D
from the night I tried to make him stay
D               G   D A              D
I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
                     G         D
And I hear his name here and there
                      C A
as I go from town to town
          Bm          G       D
And I've never gotten used to it, 
                              G
I've just learned to turn it off
Bm              A           G                 D
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
D         G       D   A             D
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
               G       D
I know every scene by heart,
                     C A
they all went by so fast
Bm               G         D
If he's passin' back this way,
                      G
I'm not that hard to find
Bm               A          G               D
Tell him he can look me up if he's got the time.
