1) I remember that Steamer, the time you set sail
2) I can see myself dreaming, the time you came home
3) I remember that winter, first time we made love
5) Most of all it's that steamer, the time you set sail
G D Em C D
The crowd was steaming, streaming, and leaning on the rail
Your face was gleaming, seeming to stand out alone
Oh, I still kind of shiver, a little at what I'm thinking of How
Ah, the crowds always steaming, streaming, and leaning on the rail
D/E D/F# G D C D D/E D/F# G D C
Then the big whistle blew, and I lost my place
The dinner bell chimed and I found my seat
your dress it just folded, all down around your knees
Then the big whistle blows and I always lose my place
Am D G C G
Next thing I knew I could not find your face.
Your eyes met mine your smile was so sweet.
And I held my breath, my god, my girl, 'cause I could not believe. (Instr)
Next thing I know, I cannot find your face

Instrumental note:
The 10-10-10-9 is actually a 9 bent to 10, then return to 9.
The 7th note on the lead is actually a 10 quickly bent to 11.
Not sure how to write that out without making it too complicated so I just
wrote the generic notes.
