IF I'D ONLY COME AND GONE - Written by Shel Silverstein
First Verse
Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb C F
The way I've always done with summer girls before
F Bb C F
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
F C C
Then we wouldn't face this long and painful righting of the wrong
If I'd just come and gone
Second Verse
Bb
If I hadn't stayed so long
Bb C F
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door
F Bb C F
Tracked no footprints 'cross your polished hardwood floor
F C C
If I'd have left you in your doorway smilin' drowsy at the dawn
F
If I'd just come and gone
Third Verse
F Bb F
Then I'd be on a shinin' silver plane dippin' into Denver
F Bb F
Or a schooner blowin' down The Biscayne Bay
F Bb C F
You'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd remember
'Stead of lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of each new day
Fourth Verse
Bb
If you'd only stopped to read
Bb C F
Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls
F Bb C F
And heard the mornin' coffee truths I told 'em all
F C
I'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
You'd never have loved me if I'd just come and gone
Outro
F
If I'd just come and gone
F Bb
If I'd only come and gone
Bb C
If I'd only come and gone
C F
If I'd only come and gone...

D = E
A = B
A7 = B7
G = A
Dsus = Esus
First Verse
This is the last morning, that I wake up in this dirty city,
looking for the sunshine, as the buildings block the skies
This is the last morning, that I wash in rusty water,
trying to shave a face, that I don't even recognize
D
Down the hallway rats are skittering, I can smell the garbage rotting;
G
hear the children crying, in an apartment, down below
A7
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to listen to it,
D Dsus D
I'm going home, yeah
D
This is the last morning, that I try to breath the heavy air,
A A7
fight the crowds, avoid the traffic, watch the world turn grey
This is the last morning, that I drink my coffee standing up,
D
smile and speak to strangers, who just turn and walk away
D
This is a tough cold city here, and I'll guess I'll never cut it here
D
And I'm so tired of trying to stand against it, all alone
A7
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to fight it,
D Dsus D
I'm going home, yeah
D
This is the last morning that I wear these greasy overalls,
A
punch the clock, and do just what I'm told, to get along
A7
And face the long evening, laying close beside my radio,
D Dsus D
imagining the kisses, of the girl that sings the song
D
Down below the subway's screaming, as I lay here halfway dreaming
G D
Looking at the ceiling, wondering where, the dream went wrong (where, where)
A7
This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to think about it,
D Dsus D
I'm going home, yeah
D Dsus E D Dsus D
D Dsus D
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home . . . .

I hope you find somebody who

I hope you find somebody bold

Enough to reach and take a hold
E A E
And guide your ever changing mind

And free your ever rising soul.

But I can't. No, I can't.
Fourth verse

I can't look inside your mind

She's home again.

Of a simple country girl.
