Ive Been Meaning To Call

Biography:

Born in Los Angeles in 1987, Robert Francis grew up surrounded by music. His father is a classical music producer and eccentric owner of one of the largest collections of sheet music in the U.S. One of Francis' earliest memories is his father "blasting music at full volume in his cluttered office under fluorescent lights until 4 a.m. while I was trying to sleep in the room next door." His mother, one of nine sisters, grew up in Mexico in a town so small that "it's just dirt

I SO WANT TO MAKE A TABLATURE OF THIS IN THE FUTURE

TUNING
Untune your guitar half step down, that is somewhere in the middle of E and D#

CAPO ON 1

D
Early to rise, Early to bed
G D
That moment I'd risen I shaved my head
G D
Doing so that morning began with a grin
A D
I left behind my old fabled skin

D
It was middle of May, the seasons were bending
G D
I with the seasons could predict no ending
G D
Lived in the moment, being as it were
A D
That moment surrendered and led me to her

Bm G
Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread
D Bm D
I tugged her right over by tilting my head
Em G D
I followed her blind, to an old record store
A
While one of her friends found a way through the door

Em Bm G
In the dark we played records with everyone high
Em Bm G
I held her hands when the police drove by
Em Bm G
She asked me bout' home if I missed it at all
D
I thought Mama oh Mom I've been meaning to call

Bm D
Bm D D

D
The band went home, I stayed behind
G D
I took the Muskegon Ferry from the Milwaukee line
G D
Arrived at her door to clutch all her hearts strings
A D
We're driving up north to forget everything

D
I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes
G D
I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons
G D
Not crescent, nor full inside of the storm
A D
She'd dive and resurface each time changing form

Em Bm G
But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks
Em Bm G
Time out of water resumed on the clocks
Em Bm G
She slept while the second hand spun on the wall
D
I thought Mama Oh Mom I've been meaning to call

Bm D
Bm D D

D
I didn't wanna lose her, I bought two tickets home
G D
We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone
G D
Standing there watching our feet off the plane
G D
Each step she took further I was less the same

D
I was running from whoever I was at the time
G D
I went running right into the middle of a crime
G D
I was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime
G D
Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb
G D
And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime
A
And just within a day you were well on your way

Em Bm G
And I went to the river where all sinners meet
Em Bm G
Watched the animals run from headlights in the street
Em G Bm
I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed
Em G Bm
You gotta be above someone to watch them fall

Em Bm G
Emily I've been meaning
Em Bm G
Emily I've been meaning
Em Bm G D
Emily I've been mea..ning to call

D Em
D Em
D Em
G D
