VERSE 1:

BB   A augmentedA     BB    A augmentedA
I was yours and you were mine

BB    A augmentedA    D MajorD
We were together all the time

We had sun and happy days

BB   A augmentedA      D MajorD
Living together in our lazy ways

E MajorE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
BB - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Drinking about my baby

BB    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Drinking about her all the time

(Repeat twice)

VERSE 2:

BB    A augmentedA    BB  A augmentedA
I was so happy to see you

BB     A augmentedA     D MajorD

You can do the bridge like this: E, E, E, E, E, E, D MajorD

SOLO:
During the solo you can play B, A, B, A, B, A, D MajorD twice.

Alternatively, if you want to play the solo, you can just free style it. Just go nuts,

Keep asking where you are
