         A
There's a full time reservation made
                 G        A
in a bar at the railway station
And there's a story, a kind of fable,
                  G      A
on a card at the corner table
D           E                   A
On it is a message; been there some time
D                    E             A
It starts off, "The coffee tasted so fine..."

It says, "One day This may find you;
These few words may just remind you
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."
It goes on to say,
"I love you If you should find this,
I must hear from you."

G           A      D       A        D      A
It gives a number but the name has faded away
G            A        D        A       D         E
All that is left are just the words, "Maybe someday"

That's the story and the fable
Never leave alone from a corner table
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo...
