Patty Larkin

I Told Him That

by Patty Larkin
Patty Larkin

Biography:

Patty Larkin (b. June 19, 1951, Iowa) is a Boston-based singer-songwriter. She trained at the Berklee College of Music before pursuing a solo career in folk music.

Her songwriting has been praised for its wit, and her technical guitar playing has also received praise (which she made light fun of in her feminist song, Not Bad for a Broad).

In 1990, she joined Christine Lavin, Megan McDonough, and Sally Fingerett to form the Four Bitchin' Babes, with whom she toured and recorded one album.

Here's a Patty Larkin tune off the "Angels Running" album which
is easy to learn and hauntingly beautiful, I think. Mary Chapin
Carpenter sings a nice harmony on the chorus. The Story also sing
background vocals on several songs. It's a gem of an album.
I've indicated the chords. A listen to the song should convey the
simple picking pattern.

C Csus4
I told him that my dog wouldn't run
C Csus4
I told him that I loved someone
C
Yeah, that's my old car out there
Csus4
In the parking lot

C Csus4
I saw him when he first walked in
C Csus4
I thought it was a vision of him
C Csus4
He was looking like where he had been
C Csus4
Looking kind of fragile


Refrain:
Am Csus4 G
He said I read the Bible every day
Am
Tryin' to keep the demons at bay
Am
Thank God when the sun goes down
G
I don't blow away


My friend said, was he always like that
I said yeah, but he was never this bad
I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner

I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn't because
This would be all that there was

(Refrain)

He was laughing but I didn't get the joke
He was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry

In the florescent light of the restaurant
I smiled and I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold

But it was kind of like touching a ghost
So I ran when I walked out

(Refrain)

I got in my car and I drove
Over the bridge to the coast
Wondering where does old love go
