Old Fashioned Love Song

Words & Music:

Paul Williams

 

Em      D             C         Bm             Em   D   C   Bm

Just an old-fashioned love song playing on the radio.

    Em                 D            C                B7               Em D C B7 [etc.]

And wrapped around the music is the sound of someone promising they'll never go.

 

PRE-CHORUS:

You swear you've heard it before as it slowly rambles on.

No need in bringin' 'em back 'cause they're never really gone.

 

CHORUS:

G                     A          C                 D                 G

Just an old-fashioned love song, one I'm sure they wrote for you and me.

G                     A          C              D               Em

Just an old-fashioned love song, comin' down in three-part harmony

 

To weave our dreams upon and listen to each evenin' when the lights are low.

To underscore our love affair with tenderness and feeling that we've come to know.

 

PRE-CHORUS:

 

CHORUS:  [reverse the lines]

 

CHORUS:  [as original]

 

Em

To weave our dreams upon and listen to the song

 

CODA:  [to tune of chorus]

Just an old song, comin' down.

Just an old song, one I'm sure they wrote for you and me.

Just an old song, comin' down.

Just an old song, one I'm sure they wrote for you and me.
