[Verse 1]
GPomp and Circumstance was playing loud over the speakers
FI was in a cap and gown, he was in the bleachers
CWas he crying for me
F GOr 'cause he was gonna leave for good this time?
GGuess mama and her movie star looks weren't enough to keep him
F'Cause he was gone by six a.m. while the rest of us were sleeping
C FI woke up to a letter on my dresser
GSaying, "This ain't our goodbye"
[Chorus]
F G CHe showed me Zeppelin III, he showed me how to drive
F G CHe showed me how to make somebody laugh until they cry
F G C GmI guess he tried his best, and I have to believe
F GHe would've shown me how to love
C GBut all he knew was how to leave
[Verse 2]
GBack in town for Christmas, we don't celebrate together
FA twenty minute coffee where we talk about the weather
CAnd his new wife, she's so nice
F GAnd will I let him walk me down the aisle?
G"Will I ever get married?" is his all-time favorite question
FI don't have the heart to say how I learned that lesson
CSo I laugh the laugh he gave me
F GAnd I try to hide my mama when I smile
[Chorus]
F G CHe showed me Zeppelin III, he showed me how to drive
F G CHe showed me how to make somebody laugh until they cry
F G C GmI guess he tried his best, and I have to believe
F GHe would've shown me how to love
C GBut all he knew was how to leave
[Outro]
GLately, it don't hurt so bad to live my life without him
FThere ain't a day that goes by where I don't think about him
CBut I just let it go
FLike he did years ago, and
G CTurn on Zeppelin III
F G CGo on, "Tangerine"
F G C F"Ramble On," sing my song
G C F G C F G C F
