[C] I followed you to [F] Texas, I [G] followed you to [C] Utah. We didn’t find it [F] there so we moved [G] on. I [C] followed you to [F] Alabam’, [G] things looked good in [C] Birmingham. We didn’t find it [F] there so we moved [G] on.

I know you’re [C] tired of [F] following, [G] my elusive [F] dreams and [C] schemes. [F] For they’re only [C] fleeting things, [G] my elusive [C] dreams.

[C] I had your child in [F] Memphis, [G] you heard of work in [C] Nashville. We didn’t find it [F] there, so we moved [G] on, To a [C] small farm in [F] Nebraska, to a [G] gold mine in [C] Alaska. We couldn’t find it [F] there so we moved [G] on.

[C] And now we’ve left [F] Alaska, be[G]cause there was no [C] gold mine. But this time, only [F] two of us move [G] on. And [C] now we have each [F] other, And a [G] little memory to [C] cling to. And still you won’t [F] let me go on a[G]lone.

I know you’re [C] tired of [F] following, [G] my elusive [F] dreams and [C] schemes. [F] For they’re only [C] fleeting things, [G] my elusive [C]dreams.

[F] For they’re only [C] fleeting things, [G] my elusive [C] dreams.
