Verse: (there are some fiddly bits at the end of each line around the 9th fret on the
strings)
E F#m7
Would you believe me if i told you that i'm sorry
E F#m7
I didn't mean to make you sad
E F#m7
When I heard that you were leaving home to travel
E F#m7 A7 B
I didn't get chance to take it back, but what I wanna know is..
Chorus:
C#m B E C#m
How was London, How was Crete
C#m A B E C#m
How was Amsterdam and gay Paris
C#m A B E C#m A B E C#m
How was Barcelona and Sicicly and did you a little thought for me?
A B E C#m
