Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

[Verse]
D Bm G
In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
D A
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining
D Bm G
I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began
D A D G A
You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away.
D Bm G
And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall
D A
Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing
D Bm G
And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall
D A D G D
Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain.
[Chorus]
F#m A D F#m A D
Remember how we met, down by the waterside
F#m A D G D
How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

[Verse]
D Bm G
So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band
D A
But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying
D Bm G
Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land
D A D G D
We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago.
[Chorus]
F#m A D F#m A D
Remember how we met, down by the waterside

How easily we forget, all the love we knew.
