[NOTES]
From the album, All Roads Lead To Land. Alternately Titled “Since You Went Away”

A fun son to experiment with different inversions of the chords on the guitar.
I’ll include the lowest octave below and the second set next to it.

F A
Baby, since you went away
A Dm
I hope you’ll come back some day
Bb
You went out of sight
F Dm
I couldn’t sleep at night
Bb C7
Without you, it’s not the same
F A
And each new day I find
A Dm
That life is hard but life is kind
Bb
I’ll get through my days
F Dm
I still love you anyway
Bb C7 F
For you were meant for me
[Verse 2]
F A
Though the city streets are mean
A Dm
Caught in the headlights beam
Bb
Lovers in the park
F Dm
Waiting for the dark
Bb C7
To hold each other so tight
[Verse 3]

When those city lights have seen
A Dm
That you were always meant for me

I’ll get through my days

I still love you anyway

For you were meant for me
