Hello everyone,
This is my first posting so I thought I would pick an easy one.
This is a great song from a great siger/songwriter.
Verse
G D
How many cats in New York city
C
How many angels on a pin
G D
How many notes in a saxophone
C
How many tears in a bottle of gin
G D
How many times did you call my name
C G D
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in
Chorus 1
C G D C
I know.......I've been careless
Verse
G D
I've been wrapped up in a shell
C
Nothing could get through to me
G D
Acted like I didn't know
C
I had friends and family
G D
I saw worry in your eyes
C G D
Didn't look like fear to me

You're the one that brought me back
