C        G      Cmaj7       C        F      G    
Don't forget me Ida,    and don't forget my eyes 
    F        G          C F    C           D7      G    G7  
The way they begged you Ida, beneath those starlit skies 
C        G     Cmaj7   C      F      G //  Gsus4 /  G /// 
Sweet as apple cider,  softer than a tear 
    F     G       C     F         C          G7        C //  F /  C /// 
You took away the green grass and skies that once were clear 
 
            Am                 Em              Dm7    G7        C     
        The morning rains come home again, the hunter  from the hill 
       E   E7   Am             F     C       D7                G    G7 
        Ev'ry - body needs you home again, I guess they always will 
 
C           G         Cmaj7   C            F       G 
Through the storm you wander, through each covered glen 
       F        G      C F       C       G7  C  
Please don't forget me Ida, come back to me again 
 
        (music ? break chords) 
 
C           G         Cmaj7   C            F       G 
Through the storm you wander, through each covered glen 
       F        G      C F       C       G7   C  
Please don't forget me Ida, come back to me again
