:
E, A, B x4
[Verse 1]:
I like to think about the time I met you,
Living with your people down in New Orleans.
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you,
Ride in no nasty limousine.
[Pre-Chorus]:
Later on the levee with the moon up above,
I lost my heart and confessed my love,
:
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that, somehow.
:
E, A, B E A B
Does me no damn good.
E, A, B
E, A, B
[Verse 2]:
One Summer night in a field of wheat,
God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky.
Moving light on your tiny feet,
I knew I had to love you till the day I die.
[Pre-Chorus]:
They talk about Amazing Grace,
it meant something when I saw your face.
:
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
Oh, Lucy said, I can't stop thinkin' bout you.
:
I think of all the little things that I never told you,
I think I may get to hold you someday.
It's my brain just like a man possessed,
I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest,
:
I can't understand it baby.
E, A, B x3
[Verse 3]:
Don't like to think about the way it ended,
I hate remembering the things that I said.
I dream a dream of love so splendid,
I wake up hard in an empty bed.
[Pre-Chorus]:
I wonder who'll be loving you next,
Some fool will be writing bad checks.
:
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you
Somehow baby, Lord have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

E, A, B
