[A] - I like to [E]think about the [A]time I met [E]'cha
[A] - Livin' with your [E]people down in [A]New Or[E]leans
[A]Mad at yo [E]mama 'cause she'd [A]never [E]let 'cha
[A]Ride in no [E]nasty [A]limousine
[D]Later on the levee with the [F#m]moon up above
[D] - I lost my heart and con[E]fessed my love, oh

I've [E]got to stop thinkin' 'bout [A]that"

[VERSE]
[A] - One summer [E]night in a [A]field of [E]wheat-a
[A]God's sweet [E]lanterns a-[A]hangin' in the [E]sky
[A] - Movin' [E]light on your [A]tiny [E]feet
I [A]knew I had to [E]love ya 'til the d[A]ay I die
[D] -- They talk about "A[F#m]mazing Grace"
[D] - It meant somethin' when I [E]saw your face

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh now Lucy say, "[A]God have mercy
I've [E]gotta stop thinkin' 'bout [A]that"
[D] - Oh-oh-oh, Lu[A]cy say, I [E]can't stop thinkin' 'bout [A]you

[BRIDGE]
I think of [C#]all the little things that I never told ya
[A] - I think I may get to hold ya someday
([C#]You're) In my brain just like a man possessed
I can't [D]do me no work, I can't [E]get me no rest

[A] - I dream a [E]dream of [A]love so [E]splendid
I [A]wake up [E]hard in an [A]empty bed
[D] - I wonder who'll be [F#m]lovin' you next
[D] - Some fool will be [E]writin' bad checks

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh now Lucy, "[A]God have mercy
I've [E]gotta stop thinkin' 'bout [A]you"

I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. Instead, this chord chart
represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as a personal interpretation, it's not
something I care to debate. It's a road map for my own, and maybe your own future performances.
