Anthony John Clarke - An Acquaintance Of Mine
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
C G/B Am C/G F C G
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am C
He's out on the road now, a quarter past nine
Dm7 C F G
His destination, it's a way down the line
C G/B Am C
He's done his fair share of talking, his fare share of time
Dm7 G
And he know
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am C
As he kicks off the dust from the place he has been
Dm7 C F G
A white car pulls over, and as he bundles in
C G/B Am C
I see lines on his face, grey hairs on his chin
Dm7 G
And he know
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C
He's a winner, a loser, an acquaintance of mine
F C G
He's a page from a novel, she's the dust on his wine bottle
C G/B Am C Dm7 G
He's never early, she's rarely on time
[Instrumental]
C G/B Am C/G F C G
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am C
He stops from his travels, a lonely hotel
Dm7 C F G
Puts four suitcases down, gently rings on the bell
C G/B Am C
And the lady is smiling, she knows him so well
F C G
And he follows her in the hall
[Verse 4]
C G/B Am C
To where the carpets are faded, the windows are stained
Dm7 C F G
The portraits are hung in Victorian frames
C G/B Am C
And he touches her face as she whispers his name
Dm7 G
And they know
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C
He's a winner, a loser, an acquaintance of mine
F C G
He's a page from a novel, she's the dust on his wine bottle
C G/B Am C Dm7 G
He's never early, she's rarely on time
[Instrumental]
C G/B Am C/G F C G (2x)
[Verse 5]
C G/B Am C
He wakes in the morning and she is still there
Dm7 C F G
Her shoes on the floor and her clothes on the chair
C G/B Am C
He tries hard not to wake her as he touches her hair
Dm7 G
It's as though
[Verse 6]
C G/B Am C
The wall clock is broken, so he keeps his own time
Dm7 C F G
He knows that she loves him, one day at a time
C G/B Am C
And her breathing is sweet love in a Burgundy wine
Dm7 G
And they know
[Verse 7]
C G/B Am C
There is no need to speak out, there's no one else there
Dm7 C F G
Alone words are only loose shapes in the air
C G/B Am C
And she may be sleeping, but at least she is there
Dm7 G
And she knows
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C
He's a winner, a loser, an acquaintance of mine
F C G
He's a page from a novel, she's the dust on his wine bottle
C G/B Am C Dm7 G
He's never early, she's rarely on time
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C
He's a winner, a loser, an acquaintance of mine
F C G
He's a page from a novel, she's the dust on his wine bottle
C G/B Am C Dm7 G F C
He's never early, she's rarely on time
