Al Stewart

Intro  Bb  C  Gm7  C  Gm  C  Bb  C

      Bb                        C
I was makin` my way through the wasteland
    Gm7                   C
The road into town passes through
      Gm                 C
I was changing the radio stations
        Bb          C
With my mind on you
         Bb                      C
All your friends call you Lily Paloma
    Gm7                         C
But that`s not the way that you are
         Gm                  C
It`s too much of a gentle misnomer
      Bb            C
For a shooting star
🎸

But you and me baby
          C

There`s really no hiding
                 C

D#                      F
We`ll go collecting the days

Putting the moments away

    Bb                      C
I remember the first time I saw you
Gm7                      C
Alone in the dark with a drink
       Gm                     C
With a candle flame burning before you
         Bb                 C
And your thoughts closed in
         Bb                   C
You were staring out into the distance
    Gm7                    C
Not seeming to hear what I said
    Gm                    C
Why did you put up such resistance
             Bb              C
Like all the lights were red

Cause you and me baby
          C

        Bb                        C
I don`t know what it was that was painful
    Gm7                          C
But sometimes it`s there in your face
          Gm                           C
There are times when you just look disdainful
       Bb         C
Of the human race
       Bb                    C
Ah but then on the wings of emotion
   Gm7                  C
We circle each other in flight
     Gm                        C
Till together we roll like the ocean
       Bb            C
In its bed at night

Cause you and me baby

I saw you there
