San Francisco Bay chords by Smokie

[Verse 1]

G
Maybe I'm a loner,
C           G
Maybe I'm a man,
C           G
Maybe I'm a fool,
    D             G
But tried to understand.
G
I've been a dreamer,
    C         G
And I've been around,
    C             G
And I've spent my time
   D             G
In many lonesome towns.

[Verse 2]

  G
I used to know a woman,
  C              G
I used to know a child,
    C                G
Sometimes she was so gentle,
    D                 G
Sometimes she'd be so wild.
  G
I gave her all my lovin,
    C                 G
And I gave her all my youth,
   C              G
So certain of the future,
   D                 G
So sure we found the truth.

[Chorus]

        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
Where my love and I did run away,
                     Am
We were looking for another day,
D7                       G
But we couldn't find the words to say...
        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
All the flowers that we gave away,
                        Am
Didn't know our sky was turing gray,
           D7               G
We were so young in San Francisco Bay.

[Verse 3]

       G
So you see my darling,
     C                G
Just why I've been so strange,
     C           G
I've had so many heartaches,
     D              G
It's hard for me to change.
   G
So when you talk of lovin,
    C               G
And going away with me,
  C                  G
I still can't help remembering
    D                  G
The way things used to be...

[Chorus]

        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
Where my love and I did run away,
                     Am
We were looking for another day,
D7                       G
But we couldn't find the words to say...
        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
All the flowers that we gave away,
                        Am
Didn't know our sky was turing gray,
           D7               G
We were so young in San Francisco Bay.
        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
Where my love and I did run away,
                     Am
We were looking for another day,
D7                       G
But we couldn't find the words to say...
        C
San Francisco Bay,
                        G
All the flowers that we gave away,
                        Am
Didn't know our sky was turing gray,
           D7               G
