Intro: (Am D)
G C/E Am D/F#
Oh, sweet lady, runnin' like a stream
G C/E Am D/F#
You don't look back because you know your hands are clean
G C/E Am D/F#
You make believe the past was just a dream
Am D/F# G
You make believe the past was just a dream
(then a quick change to G7 here just before the Chorus)
Em Am C
Turn around, turn around
C D/F# G
And I will sing for you a song ( I think another quick change to G7 sounds good here to)
Em Am C
I don't know where you been
C D/F# G
But you've been gone too long
Oh, Elisa, you must begin again
And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end
I was your lover but I thought I was your friend
I loved you but I thought I was your friend
Turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long
Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea
Maybe you will find a little time to think of me
Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be
So turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
And I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long
