Am

Am 
One night I met a
Em 
Am 
woman in St. Augustine
C 
E 
At a bar down on old St. George Street
Am 
C 
Her face was familiar,
Dm 
but I   could not remember
Am 
Em 
Am 
If  I knew her, I'd forgotten her name
Em 
Am 
Well, she sat there and quietly listened
C 
Em 
As I told my musical tales
E 
Am 
C 
But what I had to say
Dm 
seemed unimportant
Am 
To  what she told me when
Em 
Am 
I   took my break
C 
She said, it's not just your music
Am 
that in  terests me
C 
I've been with musicians before
E 
Em 
C 
But you're carrying on
Am 
for the ones who have gone
C 
and can't play their mu

sic anymore
Em 
Am 
By her table I saw an old picture frame
C 
With a most unusual display
E 
Am 
Not a picture,
C 
Dm 
but an old sailor's watch cap
Am 
She said it once had be
Em 
Am 
longed to Will McLean
Well, ask how did you
Em 
Am 
come to possess it?
C 
E 
She said Will was a good friend of mine
Am 
C 
He depended on friends
Dm 
for a place to lay down
Am 
Em 
When to him life seemed less than kind
Am 
C 
Now the ghost of Will McLean
Am 
walks in old St. Augustine
C 
E 
He's just looking for some place to pick
C 
But he never walks alone,
Am 
he's with those who've gone on
C 
Em 
He's with Gamble, Don Grooms
Am 
C 
G 
Am 
and Bobby Hicks
Em 
When I finished my night,
E 
Em 
Am 
she had vanished
C 
E 
Taking with her the relics she brought
Am 
C 
Dm 
By her table I found a small drawstring bag
Am 
Em 
And a note from the lady just wrought
Am 
She said, boy,
Em 
Am 
just keep playin' your music
C 
E 
For the ones who've gone on before
Am 
C 
The capo in the bag
Dm 
Am 
once belonged to a legend
Em 
Am 
But Gambo can't use it anymore
C 
Now the ghost of Will McLean
Am 
walks in Old St. Augustine
C 
He's just lookin' for some place to pick
E 
C 
But he never walks alone
Am 
He's with those who've gone on
C 
Em 
He's with Gamble, Don Broons
Am 
and Bobby Hicks
