Intro

     

Verse 1

I remember holdin' on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
F G (G7) C
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Chorus

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go 
G7 C G (G7)
In my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Verse 2

I only miss you every now and then
Like a soft breeze blowin up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
F G (G7) C
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Chorus

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go 
G7 C G (G7)
In my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Coda

But I can't remember if we said goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
(G7) means maybe throw in a dominant seventh.
The C and G chords use sus4's etc off and on.
You can incorporate the riff that runs throughout the song into
your fingerpicking by playing it on the 4th (D) and 5th (A)
strings, effectively playing Csus4's, G6/B's, G7/B's etc.
Csus4 = x33010
G/B = x20003
G6/B = x22003
G7/B = x23003
Use a C harp for the harmonica solo.
