Same Auld Lang Syne

C Am C Am   

  C                        Am  
Met my old lover in a grocery store  
  C                                Am  
The snow was falling Christmas eve  
  C                            Am  
I stole behind her in the frozen foods  
        D7/F#               Fm7  G  
And I touched her on her sleeve  
  C                          Am  
She didn't recognize the face at first  
  C                            Am  
But then her eye flew open wide  
  C                             Am  
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse  
          D7              Fm7  G  
And we laughed until we cried.

She took her groc'ries to the check out stand  
  C                             Am  
The food was totaled up and bagged  
  C                              Am  
We stood there lost in our embarrassment  
           D7           Fm7   G  
As the conversation dragged  
  C                          Am  
Went to have ourselves a drink or two  
  C                           Am  
But couldn't find and open bar  
  C                           Am  
Bought a six pack at the liquor store  
         D7            Fm7 G  
And we drank it in her car.  
 
Refrain:  
Am                      F  
We drank a toast to innocence  
     G              Am  
We drank a toast to now  
Am                               F  
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness

      G  
But neither one knew how.  
 
      (2nd Verse Chords  

She said she married her an architect  

Who kept her warm and safe and dry  

She would've liked to say she loved the man  

But she didn't like to lie.  

I said the years had been a friend to her  

And her eyes was still as blue  

But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I  

Saw a doubt of gratitude.  
 
  C                         Am  
She said she saw in the record stores  
  C                    Am  
And that I must be doing well  
  C                         Am  
I said the audience was heavenly  
           D7          F  
But the travelling was hell.

Am                      F

We drank a toast to now  
Am                               F

      G  
But neither one knew how.  
Am                     F  
We drank a toast to innocence  
     G              Am  
We drank a toast to time.  
Am                   F  
Reliving in our eloquence  
   G                pause
