So I'm go in to unpack all my things

I was goin' to confiscate your lace
E
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
F Dm Am
And hide it in your case
C Am
If I knew for sure that it was yours

But it was oh so hard to tell
C Am
But you knew that we would meet again
F Dm Am
If your memory serves you well ...Chorus
Am
If your memory serves you well
A
You'll remember you're the one
E
That called on me to call on them
F Dm Am
To get you your favors done
C Am
And after every plan had failed
C Am
And there was nothing more to tell
C Am
You knew that we would meet again
F Dm Am
If your memory served you well ...Chorus
Enjoy!
