It's been ten long and lonely years

     F
I've been to my hometown.

Everyone at home they know me and

F                        Bb      
But there's a face in my memory 
           F
that stands out

from all the rest.

The face of someone special, the 
Bb
girl I still love

best.
F             Bb                 
I asked about Jeannie, mom said, 
    F
she married yesterday.
    C
And please don't try to see her, 
son, it had to be
     F   Bb F
this way.

F       Bbm              Bb    
Then my eyes filled with tears 
C    F
as I turned back the
            Bb          F         
years, to a love I once had, she 
   C
was mine.
        F              Bb         
Jeannie Norman was her name, Lord,
     F
 I'd give up all
                C                  
my fame just to hold Jeannie close 
         Bb  F
one more time.



(Outro)
        C                          
Just to hold Jeannie close, one 
  Bb   F
more time.
