Chorus

EPlease tell her Athat I said hBello

EExplain to her I dAidn't wanna Bgo

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

This and my other post "Cold Lady" are one of the few Humble Pie transcriptions

that can be found on the web, as it seems.

(By the way: These are the only ones, at least I found no others. If you find

any others please let me know!)
