Long ago

And oh so far away

I fell in love with you

Before the second show

Your guitar,

It sounds so sweet and clear

But you're not really there

It's just the radio

<chorus>

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?

You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,

I love you, I really do.

Loneliness

Is such a sad affair

And I can hardly wait

To be with you again

What to say,

To make you come again?

Come back to me again,

And play your sad guitar

<chorus>

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?

You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,

I love you, I really do.

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?

You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,

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.
