Fm D#
Long ago
C# C
And oh so far away
A#m C#
I fell in love with you
C
Before the second show
Fm D#
Your guitar,
C# C
It sounds so sweet and clear
A#m C#
But you're not really there
C
It's just the radio

C# C A#m G#
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
C# C A#m G#
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
C# C A#m G#
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
A#m Fm
I love you, I really do.

Fm D#
Loneliness
C# C
Is such a sad affair
A#m C#
And I can hardly wait
C
To be with you again
Fm D#
What to say,
C# C
To make you come again?
A# C#
Come back to me again,
C
And play your sad guitar
C# C A#m G#
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
C# C A#m G#
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
C# C A#m G#
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
A#m C#
I love you, I really do.
C# C A#m G#
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
C# C A#m G#

C# C A#m G#
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
A#m Fm
I love you, I really do.
Ok, I play this song with a capo on the first fret and use the chords
Em, D, C, B and Am in the verses and C, B, Am, G, and Em in the
choruses. This seems to sound pretty close, but I think that Thurston
Moore tunes his guitars flat (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb).
Anyways, this was close enough for me...
... It's your world you can change it.
