[G] Maybe I'm a loner
[C]
Maybe [G] I'm a man
[C] Maybe [G] I'm a fool
[D] Try to [G] understand
I've been a dreamer
[C] And I've [G] been around
[C] I've [G] spent my time
[D] in many [G] a lonesome town [C] I
[D] [G]
used to know a woman
[C] Used to know [G] a child
[C] Sometimes she [G] was so gentle
[D] Sometimes she'd [G] be so wild
I gave her all my loving
[C] And I gave her [G] all my youth
[C] So certain [G] of the future
[D] So sure [G] we found the truth
[C] San Francisco Bay
Where my loving [G] had to run away
We were looking [Am] for another day
[D] But we couldn't [G] find the words to say
[C] San Francisco Bay
For the flowers [G] that we gave away
Didn't know our [Am] sky was turning gray
[D] We were so young in [G] San Francisco Bay
So
[C]
[G]
[Am] [D]
[G]
you see my darling
Just [C] why I've [G] been so strange
[C] I've had so [G] many heartaches
[D] It's hard for [G] me to change
So when you talk of loving
[C] And going [G] away with me
[C] I still can't help [G]
remembering
[D] The way things [G] used to be
[C] San Francisco Bay
Where my loving [G] had to run away
We were looking [Am] for another day
[D] But we couldn't [G] find the words to say
[C] San Francisco Bay
For the flowers [G] that we gave away
Didn't know our [Am] sky was turning gray
[D] We were so young [G] in San Francisco Bay
[C] San Francisco Bay
Where my loving [G] had to run away
We were looking [Am] for another day
