Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,

 But I know one thing, that I love you.

 I love you, I love you, I love you.

Verse 1

I've been a lot of places all around the way

I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain

 But I don't want to write a love song for the world

 I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl

Junkies on the corner, always calling my name

And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games

 When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you

 And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true

Chorus

Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,

 But I know one thing, that I love you.

 I love you, I love you, I love you.

Verse 2

Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man

But I know when the stars are aligned you can

Bump into a person in the middle of the road

Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

Dancing in the night in the middle of June

My momma told me don't lose you

'Cause the best luck I had was you

Chorus

Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,

 But I know one thing, that I love you [baby girl]

 I love you, I love you, I love you.

 And I say, rocking in the dance, hall moving with you

 I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

 I say, hey, trippa, trippa, got to shoot

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

 I say, hey momma, close to you

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

 I say, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

My momma told me don't lose you

'Cause the best luck I had was you

 And I know one thing that I love you

Chorus

Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,

 But I know one thing, that I love you.

 I love you, I love you, I love you.

Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,

 But I know one thing, that I love you.

 I love you, I love you, I love you.

 I love you, I love you, I love you

 I love you, I love you, I love you

 I love you, I love you, I love you

[Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

I say, hey papa, hey papa, hey momma, hey momma

Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you

Come on, hey papa, hey papa, come to shoot

(Hey mama, hey mama)]

Enjoy!
