BOBBY

by Clare Means

Capo Fret 2

Em C G B7 Em C G B7

Bye there Bobby I guess I never knew you

Bye there Bobby now things are happening to you

G B7

Bye bye Bobby I guess I’ll never know you at all

Cause the last leaves of autumn are trembling on your vine

They're due to drop off in a just few month’s time

The last leaves of autumn are trembling on your vine

B7 Em C G B7

And do you have regrets at all

Cause you threw your seeds out into the wind

But you never did come to check on them again

You threw your seeds out into the wind

But you never did see them grow

And now the time has come for me to forgive

Cause you gave me life but you didn't watch me live

G B7 Em C G B7

Bye there Bobby and do you have regrets at all

Em C G B7 Em C G B7

Whistle interlude: (same chord pattern)

Bye there Bobby I guess I never knew you

Bye there Bobby now things are happening to you

G B7

Bye bye Bobby I guess I’ll never know you at all

Cause your whole damned life you've been living for yourself

Your whole life you never cared about no one else

Your whole life you've been living for yourself

B7 Em C G B7

And do you have regrets at all

Bye there Bobby I'll guess I'll never know you

Bye there Bobby There's things I would have shown you

G B7 Em

Bye bye Bobby I don't know how to feel at all

BURIED IN YOUR DREAMS

Hints at end Capo Fret 2

Dm A Bb A

You’ll never know how much I loved you

How I’d watch you as you as you’d sleep

How I hoped that I was buried

Buried there in your dreams

Dm A Bb A

And you’d mumble words of no meaning

But they seemed to mean the world to you

And I could only hope that I was the one

You were mumbling to

And your fists would clench and release

As you fell deeper in sleep

Bb A Dm

And I could only hope that I was the one you were grabbing

You’ll never know how much I loved you

How I’d watch you as you as you sleep

How I hoped that I was buried

Buried there in your dreams Oh

You’ll never know how much I loved you

How I’d watched you as you as you sleep

How I hoped that I was buried

Buried there in your dreams

Dm A Bb A

And you’d be sleeping so heavily in the night

Reach for you when you do

Bb A

Everything that I wanted you to

You’ll never know how much I loved you

How I’d watch you as you’d sleep

How I hoped that I was buried

Buried there in your dreams Oh

You’ll never know how much I loved you

How I’d watch you as you as you’d sleep

How I hoped that I was buried

A Dm

Buried there in your dreams

For the Bb just slide A form up one fret and play four upper strings only
