Dm             Cmaj7       F              C  Cmaj7 F
Now there were good times    for a little while
C           Em          Am7 C     Dm7       G     Dm7 G
But now her new friends     say I cramp her style
  G7        F              E       E7
I guess I`m only    in the way now
          Am      G       F     Fm
She don`t need me hangin` round
     C             Am7  Dm7      G      C   C7   Fmaj7
This San Francisco          is a lonely town....

                    Cmaj7      F
Now she`s out there somewhere
                     C Cmaj7  Am
across San Francisco Bay
              Am7             Em    F
And she`ll be wondering where I am
                 G    C#6 C#maj7
when she gets in today

                          F#
She`ll find I`ve left her
                        C#maj7  F#
Bought a one-way ticket home
              Fm7        Bbm7           D#m7   G#7
And while she sits there     cryin` all alone
               F#                 F       F7
And while this Greyhound keeps on rollin`
      Bbm          G#         F# F#m
I`ll just pray the Lord she`s found
         C#    Bbm7 D#m7      F#     C#   C#maj7 F# C#maj7 F# C#maj7
That San Francisco       is a lonely town......    (fade)
