Dan, My Fling - From Carly Simon's Debut Album - 1971
Verse 1:
GC
I said that I felt jailed up
GC
As if our doors were nailed up
GA
I said I needed separate places
D7susD7
Parties, room to move around in
GC
I said I needed my fling
GC
Had to get out and do some other thing
GA
It took me months to calculate
D7susD7
That I had nothing left without you
Chorus:
CGFEmD7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
GCGAmD7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 2:
GC
I thought I'd try and write you
GC
I thought I'd try and phone you
GA
I thought I'd try to tell you
D7susD7
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
GC
But you'd just smile to please me
GC
You'd shake your head and you'd tease me
GA
Remind me it was I who first claimed
D7susD7
That we both required freedom
Chorus:
CGFEmD7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
GCGAmD7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 3:
GC
I'd dream up schemes to meet you
GC
I'd nonchalantly greet you
GA
I'd ask you up for coffee
D7susD7
Anytime you had an hour open
GC
You say you like my hair long
GC
You ask me if I've written any new songs
GA
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street
D7susD7
And leave me dizzy with your laughter
Chorus:
CGFEmD7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
GCGAmD7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
Verse 4:
GC
I hear you're leaving this town
GC
You and some girl gonna travel around
GA
You bought a car with foldback seats
D7susD7
You'll camp out by the lakes and forests
GC
I lie alone in our old bed
GC
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head
GA
I close my eyes, I smell your hair
D7susD7
It's like I haven't slept in years
Chorus:
CGFEmD7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
GCGAm
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
D7GCGCGCG
Dreams of you? Hmmmmm, hmmmmm hmmmm.
