Capo 4 Intro [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [A7] [D7]
[G]Met my old lover in the [Em]grocery store [G]the snow was falling Christmas
[Em]Eve
[G]I stole behind her in the [Em]frozen foods And I [A7]touched her on the
[D7]sleeve
[G]She didn't recognize the [Em]face at first [G]But then her eyes flew open
[Em]wide
[G]She went to hug me, and she [Em]spilled her purse and we [A7]laughed until
we [D7]cried
[G]We took her groceries to the [Em]checkout stand [G]the food was totaled up
and [Em]bagged
[G]We stood there lost in our em[Em]barrassment as the [A7]conversation
[D7]dragge
[G]Went to have ourselves a [Em]drink or two [G]But couldn't find an open
[Em]bar
[G]We bought a six-pack at the [Em]liquor store and we [A7]drank it in her
[D7]car
[Em]We drank a toast to [C]innocence we [D]drank a toast to [Em]now
[Em]And tried to reach beyond the [C]emptiness but [D]neither one knew [Em]how
[G]She said she'd married her an [Em]architect [G]Who kept her warm and safe
and [Em]dry
[G]She would've liked to say she [Em]loved the man but she [A7]didn't like to
[D7]lie
[G]I said the years had been a [Em]friend to her [G]and that her eyes were
still as [Em]blue
[G]But in those eyes, I wasn't [Em]sure if I saw [A7]doubt or grati[D7]tude
[G]She said she saw me in the [Em]record stores [G]And that I must be doing
[Em]well
[G]I said the audience was [Em]heavenly But the [A7]traveling was [D7]hell
[Em]We drank a toast to [C]innocence we [D]drank a toast to [Em]now
[Em]And tried to reach beyond the [C]emptiness but [D]neither one knew [Em]how
[Em]We drank a toast to [C]innocence we [D]drank a toast to [Em]now
[Em]And tried to reach beyond the [C]emptiness but [D]neither one knew [Em]how
Should [G]auld acquaintance [D]be forgot and [G]never brought to [C]mind
Should [G]auld acquaintance [F#m7b5]be for[B7]got and [Em]days of [D]auld lang
[C]syne [G]
