CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G
(G) I'd love to hear a (D7) jukebox (G) play
I love you a (C) thousand (G) ways
Or if (C) you've got the (G) money, I've got the (D7) time
I'd walk a (G) mile for (D7) Mom and (G) Dad
And the good times (C) that we (G) had
Look what (C) thoughts will do
When you (G) sing old (D7) pal of (G) mine.
CHORUS
But the (D7) old, old man is gone
There'll be (C) no more Lefty (G) songs
How (C) much he meant to (G) me, nobody (D7) knows
The long black (G) veil that (D7) Alice (G) wore
Like words he sang some (C) years be-(G) fore
(C) she loved him, too (G) ...
(D7) That's the way love (G) goes.
CHORUS
