Chords for beginners: "Where Did Your Heart Go" Wham! - chord illustrations

Am

I spend my nights down on the wharf
E                 Am

In unlit alleyways
Am

By the church downtown
E                  Am

Where Sally prays
F                           G

Come down sometime
                             Am

We'll share a rusty can of corn...
F                        G

And listen to the radio
E                                    G

I love you, I love you, it says...
Am             Dm
Where did your heart go
G                     Am

Did you put it on a train
F                         G

Did you leave it in the rain
E                   G

Or down in Mexico.
Am  E  Am  E...
You cry, but I don't know
I've heard it all before
There it goes again, the slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same...
And rock 'n' roll won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight...
Am  Dm  G  Am...
Where did your heart go
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico...
