[Verse 1]
C                          D
  I remember very well the day you came in town
    Bb                                 C                       G
The music played like a holiday and we thought we'd never come down
C                                     D
It's been like a ghost town since you left for parts unknown
    Bb                                  C                  G
How could you stand to take your bag in hand and leave us alone?

Am                      F
   The train don't ever come on time
Am                      Bbmaj7
   When you're away the sun don't wanna shine
Am                    F        G
   Some day I'm gonna make you mine


[Chorus]
D       Am       E7
Sakka Joweda, my friend
               Dm            E7      Am
When you gonna come back and see us again?
                C
We've waited so long
Em7             Dm      G
You can't do no wrong

Sing your song


[Verse 2]
C                                  D
  Every day the gasman would leave flowers at your door
    Bb                                         C                   G
and we all knew it was because of you, that he joined the Army Air Corps
C                                  D
When you danced at Randy's Bar the band would swing like (May?)
    Bb
and all they do now is play the Blues now
C                  G
  They got it real bad
Am                      F
   This town will never be the same
Am                Bbmaj7
   I wish I never seen the day you came
Am                   F         G
   and every night I call your name


[Chorus]
D       Am       E7
Sakka Joweda, my friend
