 G
Maybe Iʼm a loner,
 C           G
Maybe Iʼm a man,
 C           G
Maybe Iʼm a fool,
    D             G
I tried to understand.

Iʼve been a dreamer,
And Iʼve been around,
And Iʼve spent my time
In many lonesome towns.

C G

I used to know a woman,
I used to know a child,
Sometimes she was so gentle,
Sometimes sheʼd be so wild.

I gave her all my loving,
And I gave her all my youth,
So certain of the future,
So sure we found the truth.

Chorus:
         C
San Francisco Bay,
                         G
Where my love and I did run away,
                     Am          D7
We were looking for another day,
                          G            G7
But we couldnʼt find the words to say...
San Francisco Bay,
All the flowers that we gave away,
Didnʼt know our sky was turning gray,
We were so young in San Francisco Bay.

C G Am D G

So you see my darling,
Just why Iʼve been so strange,
Iʼve had so many heartaches,
Itʼs hard for me to change.

So when you talk of loving,
And going away with me,
I still canʼt help remembering
The way things used to be...

Chorus. x2
