18Th Of December

Bm D Bm D Bm D I get that itch for leaving A Bm There sure is a lot to see Bm D When I hear those big jets winding A Bm It makes me wanna leave Bm D I've never been to Paris A Bm Still never been to Maine Bm D I sure like California A Bm I could leave on the next plane Bm D When I hear your voice a-call me A Bm Begging me to stay Bm D I'm torn and I'm tattered A Bm The sky is turned to gray Bm D My mind is numb and I haven't slept A Bm And my heart it aches for you Bm D If I stay here, my darling A Bm I don't know if I'll make it through Solo 1 Bm D Bm D On the 18th day of December A Bm That's when I did go Bm D I packed my bags and I headed south A Bm I walked right out the door Bm D All alone in that dwelling place A Bm As cold as cold could be Bm D Not a soul inside that evening A Bm Just this feeling of relief Bm D Bm D She's as fine as the evening sun A Bm That, I would not lie Bm D But I would not give my life to her A Bm No matter how hard I tried Bm D I may never find another A Bm I've come to realize Bm D But you can't hold back a roaming man A Bm Darling, I apologize Bm D I broke her heart so suddenly A Bm Like a thief in the night Bm D But as sure as the morning comes A Bm I know what I did was right Bm D I did not mean to lead you on A Bm For that you won't forget Bm D This heart of mine is breaking A Bm And I'm filled with regret Solo 3 Bm D Bm D It breaks my heart to know, dear A Bm I couldn't ever say goodbye Bm D But I know, my darling A Bm You'd be unhappy as my bride Bm D You'll surely find another man A Bm Who will take you as his wife Bm D And I'll be alone, my dear A Bm Living the bachelor's life Bm D | h Hammer-On | * Ring | x Dead note
