Notes from Gilligan:  

For the best possible sound, try playing this song on an acoustic
guitar and strum all of the strings on every chord.  If you don't
have an acoustic guitar, try unplugging your electric guitar and
playing it like an acoustic.

 A               E                  D
 I've never been too good with names.
 A                 E/G#         Gsus2(add6)      D/F#
    The cellar door was open, I could never stay away.
 A                E                  D
    I know it's prob'ly not my place.
 A                 E/G#           Gsus2(add6)   D/F#
    It's either or, I'm hoping for a simple way   to say.


  A              E           D
     It's a shame about Ray.
  A           E/G#                Gsus2(add6)    D/F#
     In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved.
  A                   E             D
     Some things need   to go away.
  A               E       D             Riff (x2)
     It's a shame   about Ray.

 If I make it through today,
 I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings out on display.
 I'll put the cobwebs back in place.
 I've never been to good with names, but I remember faces.
