Same Auld Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg
[Verse 1]
C Am
Met my old lover in a grocery store
C Am
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
C Am
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
D7 FM7 G
And I touched her on her sleeve.
[Verse 2]
C Am
She didn't recognize the face at first
C Am
But then her eyes flew open wide
C Am
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
D7 FM7 G
And we laughed until we cried.
[Interlude] (Same fingerstyle as Intro)
C Am C Am
C Am D7 F G
[Verse 3]
C Am
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
C Am
The food was totaled up and bagged
C Am
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
D7 FM7 G
As the conversation dragged.
[Verse 4]
C Am
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
C Am
But couldn't find and open bar
C Am
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
D7 FM7 G
And we drank it in her car.
[Chorus]
Am F
We drank a toast to innocence
G Am [Lick]
We drank a toast to now
Am F
Tried to reach beyond the emptiness
G Am G
But neither one knew how.
[Verse 5]
C Am
She said she'd married her an architect
C Am
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
C Am
She would have liked to say she loved the man
D7 F G
But she didn't want to lie.
[Verse 6]
C Am
I said the years had been a friend to her
C Am
And that her eyes were still as blue
C Am
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
D7 FM7 G
Saw doubt or grati-tude.
[Verse 7]
C Am
She said she saw me in the record stores
C Am
And that I must be doing well
C Am
I said the audience was heavenly
D7 FM7 G
But the travelling was hell.
[Chorus]
Am F
We drank a toast to innocence
G Am [Lick]
We drank a toast to now
Am F
Tried to reach beyond the emptiness
G Am G
But neither one knew how.
[Chorus]
Am F
We drank a toast to innocence
G Am [Lick]
We drank a toast to time
Am F
Reliving in our eloquence
G Am G
An-other "auld lang syne".
[Verse 8]
C Am
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
C Am
And running out of things to say
C Am C* Am*
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
D7 FM7 G
And I watched her drive away.
[Verse 9]
C Am
Just for a moment I was back at school
C Am
And felt that old familiar pain
C Am C* Am*
And as I turned to make my way back home
D7 FM7/ G F G
The snow turned into rain.
