[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
