Topic: "Forgetful"

This is just a song about how at times simple things seem hard to remember but how other more important things you can never forget.

Forgetful By Jeff Gilpin


January 23rd, 2009




Verse 1


I [G]forget where [D]I laid my [G]book down


I [G]forget where [D]I put my [G]keys


I [G7]forget that I was supposed to [C]call you [C7]


I [Am]forget that you [C]worry about [D]me [Am] [D]




Chorus

But I won’t [C]forget you


As long as I [G]live


You have but to [Am]ask


Any favor I’d [D]give [D7]


My longtime com[C]panion


My reason to [G]be [Em]


I know that you’ll [Am]never [D]


Forget about [G]me [D]




Verse 2


I [G]forget my [D]lunch in the [G]morning


Too [G]busy [D]heading to [G]work


I [G7]forget to put in the [C]coffee grounds [C7]


When [Am]I make the [C]morning [D]perk [Am] [D]




Chorus

But I won’t [C]forget you


As long as I [G]live



You have but to [Am]ask


Any favor I’d [D]give [D7]


My longtime com[C]panion


My reason to [G]be [Em]


I know that you’ll [Am]never [D]


Forget about [G]me [D]




Verse 3


I [G]remember back [D]when I first [G]met you


[G]God you were [D]a sight to [G]see


Looked [G7]into my eyes I was blown a[C]way [C7]


Knew [Am]then and there [C]eternal[D]ly [Am] [D]




Chorus

I’d never [C]forget you


As long as I [G]lived


You have but to [Am]ask


Any favor I’d [D]give [D7]


My longtime com[C]panion


My reason to [G]be [Em]


I know that you’ll [Am]never [D]


Forget about [C]me [G]

Re: "Forgetful"

Nice tune Jeff. I like the chord progression, it's pleasing to the ear. Sounds to me like this is another tune strongly influenced by the the love and companionship of a good gal.......

Re: "Forgetful"

Hi Jeff,

Great song - pity i couldn't ever sing it. It's too close for comfort.

There have been times when I've forgotten something REALLY important and herself has said
" A year after I'm gone, you'll forget me too!" Now that's just not fair . . .

Old doll.

Re: "Forgetful"

Thanks Alan and Lena - Alan - take comfort in knowing you're not alone. Lena, she is very spoiled but I can't wait to see her in person....I will have to wait about 3 months. Wish they lived closer.
