Intro (wordless vocals w/fuzz guitar) [2X]:

(spoken; chords as above):
One month ago today I was happy as a lark But now I go for walks To the movies - maybe to the park
And have a seat on the same old bench To watch the children play (huh) You know, tomorrow is their future But to me, just another day
They all gather around me They seem to know my name We laugh, tell a few jokes But it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory 'Though day after day I've tried I keep sayin' she'll be back But today again I lied
Verse 1:
Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street, and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 2:
Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow In the sweet music on my radio Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Bridge:
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost
Baby, I'm lost (Oh)
[Repeat verse w/wordless vocal first two lines (2X)]
Verse 3:
Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips But left that break within my heart Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 4:
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me Only she can set me free Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat verse w/wordless vocal first 2 lines (4X)]
(spoken over 2nd and 3rd repeats):
As another day comes to an end I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin' Anything that she would send With all the people I know I'm still a lonely man You know, it's funny I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
