The Mention Of Your Name

Chris Rea

Composed by: Chris Rea
key: Am Tuning: E A D G B E
Am                              F
 "Time goes by and every single tear
F
It must have well run dry
        Dm
And the lonely nights
         Em               Am
Become a strange accepted way

[Verse 2]
Am
And the years go past
Am
Just like the old song says
    F
The pain with time has healed, it couldn't last
    Dm                 Em
But oh a friend like a fool
              Am
Mentions your name

[Bridge]
      Dm7             G7
Sunny days, drunken nights
              Cmaj7       Fmaj7
You smile and say, it's alright
           Dm   Fm   E7
But oh the cold cold rain
                       Am
At the mention of your name

[Interlude]
Am    F   Dm  Em  Am

[Bridge]
           Dm
Forgive me please
           G
If I shrug my shoulders
           C
When I put my friend at ease
   F
As I get older
               Bm                E           Am
It's not that I don't feel colder than before
          Dm              G7
Oh I've become so good at hiding
       C               F
What I feel without confiding
               Bm7                        E7
It's still the same, darling still the same
                       Am
At the mention of your name"
