Dan My Fling Chords

(ver. 1)
Carly Simon
Dan, My Fling - From Carly Simon's Debut Album - 1971

Verse 1:

 G                   C
I said that I felt jailed up
 G                   C
As if our doors were nailed up
 G                   A
I said I needed separate places
 D7sus4            D7
Parties, room to move around in
 G                  C
I said I needed my fling
 G                            C
Had to get out and do some other thing
 G                      A
It took me months to calculate

D7sus4                     D7
That I had nothing left without you


Chorus:

C      G          F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
G               C      G       Am     D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 2:

G                        C
I thought I'd try and write you
G                        C
I thought I'd try and phone you
G                       A
I thought I'd try to tell you
D7sus4                             D7
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
G                           C
But you'd just smile to please me
G                           C
You'd shake your head and you'd tease me
G                              A
Remind me it was I who first claimed
D7sus4                     D7
That we both required freedom

Chorus:

C         G       F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
G                 C    G      Am      D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 3:

G                      C
I'd dream up schemes to meet you
G                    C
I'd nonchalantly greet you
G                   A
I'd ask you up for coffee
D7sus4            D7
Anytime you had an hour open
G                  C
You say you like my hair long
G                  C
You ask me if I've written any new songs
G                          A
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street
D7sus4               D7
And leave me dizzy with your laughter

Chorus:

C        G        F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
G              C      G        Am     D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 4:

G                        C
I hear you're leaving this town
G                        C
You and some girl gonna travel around
G                           A
You bought a car with foldback seats
D7sus4                             D7
You'll camp out by the lakes and forests
G                    C
I lie alone in our old bed
G                             C
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head
G                           A
I close my eyes, I smell your hair
D7sus4                      D7
It's like I haven't slept in years

Chorus:

C         G       F    Em   D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
G                C      G      Am      
Now I've got to fall back on dreams 
D7      G     C  G   C  G  C  G 
Dreams of you… Hmmmmm, hmmmmm hmmmm.
