If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again chords by The Monkees

Intro

Verse

G        Bm   Em    C
If I ever get to Saginaw again,
             G       D   G
A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track.
           Bm    Em   C
Get to see the girl I never saw again
             G
Who must know why I have never ventured back.
G
We we young,
    Bm   Em
And so alive
     G        C
And now I wonder if she'd cling to me,
        G       D
Become my very own as she did then,
             G
If I ever get to Saginaw again.

Bm Em C

Verse

G        Bm   Em   C
If I ever get to Saginaw again,
              G        D    G
It won't be in Spring with meadows turning green.
           Bm      Em   C
It won't be to tangle with the law again.
               G
And it won't be with someone only seventeen,
G
Who gave her love,
      Bm   Em
And made me hers.
       C
And when you find the one you're dreaming of

Who thinks to ask, "How old is love?",
D
Not "when"
               G
You may never get to Saginaw again.

Bm Em C

Verse

G        Bm   Em  C
If I ever get to Saginaw again
         G        D    G
I will get to see son who bears my name.
         Bm            C
And perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again
           G
When I see the little man that he became.
G
And how I yearn
       Bm  Em
To watch him grow.
      C
A father's love is maybe all it takes
                  D
To not repeat those sad mistakes of men
D
If I ever get to Saginaw again
