 C                E7
You are still my boy
F                   A7
Even though you're gone now
 Dm           A7                Dm   G
We have your memories lingerin' on
        F                   B7
Boyish laughter rings out clear
        C                 A7
And it seems you must be near
 D7                    Dm7
Footsteps sound and I look around
       G9             Gaug9
And I look to see if you are here

C                 E7
You still claim a part
         F               A7b9    A7
Of that hopeful place I call my heart
 Dm            A7           Dm      G
Hopeless is a word I never learned
           F                   B7
Though my head knows what is true
            C                     A7
That we've seen the very last of you
    D7                     Dm7
My heart won't listen, it just keeps missin'
      G              Gaug7
That lovin' boy that it once knew


 C               E7
You will always be
                 F
You will always be
                  A7b9    A7
Somewhere deep inside of me
    Dm             A7
I know it, yes I know it
       Dm      G
I can feel it


     BRIDGE:

     Am                           E7
     I ain't no prophet claimin' doom now
                                   Am
     Somehow I never learned the knack
      C                           E7
     You got a boy, you give him room now
                       Dm                           G    Gaug7
     And then there's nothin' ever gonna bring him back, oh


 C        E7
You are still my boy
       F                         A7b9 A7
Even though, even though you're gone now
Dm           A7                Dm
I hear your laughter lingerin' on
                      G
I hear it, yes it's true
        F             B7
And no matter what I do
            C                         A7
No matter where, no matter where I'm goin' to
     Dm              G
I'll always have my memories
     Em              A7
I'll always have my memories
     Dm              G           F
I'll always have my memories of you
    C
