F#m                    F#m/E
Simona, you're getting older
                D
your journey's been
                 A E
etched on your skin
F#m                 F#m/E
Simona, wish I had known that
                 D
what seems so strong
              E  Fdim7
has been and gone

Chorus:
        F#m
I would call you up every day Saturday night
         F#m/E
And we'd both stayed out 'til the morning light
        D                  A  E/G#
And we sang, "Here we go again"
            F#m
And though time goes by
I will always be
    F#m/E
In a club with you
      D
In 1973
                      A  E
Singing "Here we go again"

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone
Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

Chorus - x3

           F#m
And though time goes by
I will always be
     F#m/E
In a club with you
   E    A
In 19-7-3
