I Remember Loving You

G
I look at my brown suitcase
G                                     D
And think of all the places that I've been,
D
Railroad yards and prison guards,
        D7                           G
All the dumpy little towns along the stem
G
And the whispering of the people
G                                  D
As they watch every move that I go through;
           D7
I remember all those things,
                         G
Mostly I remember loving you.

    G7            C
I remember loving you,
                        G
Back when the world was new,
                         D
And I think you loved me too,
     D7           G
I remember loving you

G
The buckskin smells so the people tell
G                                    D
As we huddled in the boxcar from the rain;
D
Flashing lights that cut the night,
             D7                          G
The railroad bull that pulled us off the train,
G
When the winter's cold and the Norther blows
G                                  D
I'm huddled in the corner 'til I'm blue;
           D7
I remember all these things,
                         G
Mostly I remember loving you.

    G7            C
I remember loving you,
                        G
Back when the world was new,
                         D
And I think you loved me too,
    D7            G
I remember loving you


G
Winter streets where the frozen sleet
G                                         D
Comes soaking through the cardboard in my shoes,
D
Where the promised land might be a place
                  D7                       G
Where a man could find free cigarettes and booze,
G
And the alleyways full of ragged strays,
G                                   D
The doorway wine I tell my troubles to,
            D7
I remember all these things,
                         G
Mostly I remember loving you.

    G7            C
I remember loving you,
                        G
Back when the world was new,
                         D
And I think you loved me too,
    D7            G
I remember loving you

    G7            C
I remember loving you,
                        G
Back when the world was new,
                         D
And I think you loved me too,
     D7           G
I remember loving you
