WHEN COULD WE HAVE MET?
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: Dm - G - C - F
F#dim - G - Em7 - Am
Dm - Bb - F# - A7
Dm G
were our parents ever children?
C F
I can't imagine that.
F#dim G
and it seems even more certain
Em7 Am
we've always been ourselves:
Dm Bb
me, a veteran of the war.
F# A7
you, no virgin anymore.
Gm F
and now we mourn the death
Bb(6) C
of all our separate years
Cm Bb
that could have been
Eb(6) F
measured with one clock.
A7
but...
Dm G
when could we have met?
C F
when could we have met?
F#dim G
in what season?
Em7 Am
when did you become
Dm Bb
what I've learned to love?
F# A7
when?
Dm G
when could we have met?
C F
when could we have met?
F#dim G
in what hour
Em7 Am
did my eyes learn to divine
Dm Bb
the underground springs
F# A7
you possess?
A7 E
when could we have met?
Bb Bm
surely not
Dm
in the crib,
Bb
on the playground,
C A7
or homecoming day.
Dm G
when could we have met?
F#dim G
not one day
F C
before we did.
ENDING: Dm - G - C - F
F#dim - G - G#dim - A7
