At the end of each line where you see D/D, play a D chord but momentarily remove your
first finger from the G or 3rd string and then hammer it back down again.
 
 
 
“Somebody mentioned that if you can remember the 60’s, you weren’t really there.
Which brought to mind a song.  This is kind of a modern day ‘yuppie – blues’.”
 
[Intro]
D    D/D    D/D    D/D    D/D    D
 
 D                                G         A                             D    D/D    D/D    D/D
I’m looking for my wallet and my car keys, well they can’t have gone too far
                                G       A                                 D    D/D    D/D
And just as soon as I find my glasses, I’m sure I’ll see just where they are.
 
                                   G           A                     D    D/D    D/D    D/D
I’m supposed to meet someone for lunch today, but I can’t remember where
                       G        A                            D    D/D    D/D
Or who it is that I’m meeting, It’s in my ‘organizer’, somewhere.
 
                              G      A                        D    D/D    D/D    D/D
I might have left it on the counter, or maybe outside in the car
                           G       A                                  D    D/D    D/D
The last time I remember driving, was to that memory enhancement seminar.
 
                             G        A                         D    D/D    D/D    D/D
What’s that far off distant ringing, and that strange familiar tone
                         G        A                                       D    D/D    D/D
Must be the person I am meeting, calling me on my brand new cordless telephone.
 
                                 G     A                        D    D/D    D/D    D/D
I might have left it under the covers, or maybe outside on the lawn
                            G           A                                D    D/D    D/D
And I’ve got just one more ring to go, before my answering machine kicks on.
 
    ‘Click’
                                        G         A                          D    D/D    D/D    D/D
Hi, this is Tom, and your call means a lot to me, so leave a message at the tone
                                 G      A                            D    D/D    D/D
And I’ll do my best to try to remember, to call you back when I get home.
 
    ‘Beep’
               G        A                      D    D/D    D/D    D/D
Tom, this is Gwendolyn, and I’m trying not to cry, 
                                G    A                                   D    D/D    D/D
But I’ve been here for over an hour, I thought you loved me, this is goodbye.
 
                           G      A                         D    D/D    D/D    D/D
Ehhhh  The voice sounds familiar, and the name, it rings a bell
                                    G
Heh,   but, let’s see now where was I?  
                          A     D
                            Oh well.
