Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Was it someone she met
that's so hard to forget
Was it [C]some kind of an ocean
of [G]changes
[Am]I don't re[B]member where she
[Em]said she would [C]be
[D]And since [F#m]I don't know[B],
let me [Em]guess[A][E][Esus4][E][A][E]
Was it [A]somewhere in Michigan
or the Lake of the Woods
Up in [Bbdim]old Montr[Edim]eal or
[Bbdim]Toronto t[Bm]he good[E]
[Bm]Somewhere in [E]Reno [Asus4]or some
[A]where in Rome
And when [D]all is said and [G]done
Will she [C]leave me alone
[G]

[Verse 2]
I don't want to get so low
And [C]as for [G]my sadness,
it comes and [C]it [D]goes
[Em]I don't re[C]member where she
[G]said she would [Em]be
[G]Back in [C]the city or [D]on the
high sea[G]s

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][D][E]

[Verse 3]
Was it [A]up in Hornpayne where the
trains run on time
Was she [Bbdim]drinking champagne
when she [Bm]made up her [E]mind
[Bm]North of the [E]border or [A]down in South Bend
And when [D]all is said and [G]done
Is there [C]no rainbow's end
[G]

[Verse 4]
I don't want to own the key
To [C]some ghostly [G]mansion
where souls are set [D]free
[Em]I don't re[C]member where
[G]she said she would [Em]go
[G]Straight for the [C]highway or
[D]down the low [G]road
[Em]I don't reme[C]mber where
[G]she said she would [Em]be
[G]Back in [C]the city or [D]on the high sea[G]s

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
