3000 Miles From Here

(Ian Hunter)

(Intro)
&G G C D/A
&G G C D/A
&G G c D/A
Fare thee well gentle maid
& G G
I'll see you on your way
& C D/A
and the sun will rise tomorrow
& G G/F# Em
and wash my sins away
& C D/A
for I know that've abused you
& G G
But I only had a day
& C D/A
And I know thats why you let me
& G G/F# Em
In your own sad little way
& C D/A
I am gone
& G
Disappeared
& D
But I hear a young dove crying
& G C C/B
Three thousand miles from here
& Am Am/F# G
&G C D/A
Some would say you were a loser
& G G
Cause you played a losers game
& C D/A
But then if I am the winner
& G G/F# Em
Why then am I so ashamed
& C D/A
If you hear a young dove crying
&G G
You'll know its me to blame
& C D/A
For I never got her number
& G G/F# Em
I never knew her name
& C D/A
Now she's gone
& G G
Disappeared
& D D/A
But I hear a young dove crying
& G C C/B
Three thousand miles from here
& Am Am/F# G
