I Told Him That

Here's a Patty Larkin tune off the "Angels Running" album which

is easy to learn and hauntingly beautiful, I think. Mary Chapin

Carpenter sings a nice harmony on the chorus. The Story also sing

background vocals on several songs. It's a gem of an album.

Can someone correctly rename the F* chord below? I've indicated

the chords. A listen to the song should convey the simple picking

pattern.

C F*

I told him that my dog wouldn't run

C F*

I told him that I loved someone

Yeah, that's my old car out there

F*

In the parking lot

C F*

I saw him when he first walked in

C F*

I thought it was a vision of him

C F*

He was looking like where he had been

C F*

Looking kind of fragile

Refrain:

Am F* G

He said I read the Bible every day

Tryin' to keep the demons at bay

Thank God when the sun goes down

I don't blow away

My friend said, was he always like that

I said yeah, but he was never this bad

I remember us playing for nickels and dimes

Out on the corner

I asked him to marry me once

He told me he couldn't because

This would be all that there was

(Refrain)

He was laughing but I didn't get the joke

He was dying to light up a smoke

And I wanted to cry

In the florescent light of the restaurant

I smiled and I got up to go

I was hoping for a goodbye to hold

But it was kind of like touching a ghost

So I ran when I walked out

(Refrain)

I got in my car and I drove

Over the bridge to the coast

Wondering where does old love go
