Another great Joe South song...
I KNEW YOU WHEN
(Joe South)
from The Best of Joe South Rhino R2 70994 1990
originally from Games People Play Capitol 235 June 1969
(Billy Joe Royal had the hit)
6/8
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I knew you when you were lonely I knew you when you were only
Ab Bbm F <trill F - F# notes>
A girl all alone without love I knew you when
I knew you when you were sad and all alone
You didn't have anyone that you could call your own
I knew you when your heart belonged to only me
I used to be your only love Now your love is just a memory
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I knew you when you were lonely I knew you when you were only
Ab Bbm F <trill>
A girl all alone without love I knew you when
I knew you when - we used to have a lot of fun
But someone else could offer more Now I'm the lonely one
I knew you when you were just a scared little girl
But that was many tears ago Now you've come up in the world
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I knew you when you were lonely I knew you when you were only
A girl all alone without love (Yeah yeah yeah)
I knew you when (Yeah yeah yeah) . . . <fade on / C# / Bbm / C# / Bbm...>
