Verse 1
         C                F 
He never wrote a song for Linda 
            Am                     D 
He wrote as though he lived alone 
            G           C                    B 
He wrote of dreams that end and of sad brave men 
          Em                      E 
Inventing worlds he never known 
 
Chorus
       Am            Gm       F 
But he never wrote a song for Linda 
    Em      Dm    C    F          D    E 
And she was right there all along 
          Am            Gm 
Loved him back to life 
         F         Em 
When his luck ran low 
       F             G          C       Fm    F  C 
But he never wrote a Linda song 
 
Verse 2
          C                  F 
He nearly broke his heart at writing 
      Am                     D 
Linda kept him from despair 
         G      C                 B 
Standing by his side, through the hungry days 
       Em                              E 
But he hardly seemed to see her there 
 
Chorus
       Am            Gm       F 
And he never wrote a song for Linda 
    Em      Dm    C    F          D   E 
And she was right there all along 
    Am        Gm          F      Em 
The one real thing in his crazy world 
       F             G          C      Fm    F  C 
And he never wrote a Linda song 
 
Bridge
C        C           G      F        Am 
When the bills piled up and couldn't pay 
A#                   C 
He couldn't dream no more 
      G                     Am 
So he hitched a ride and he road away 
       Fm              F            Am     D 
And he left a note for Linda by the door 
       G 
By the door 
 
Verse 3
     C                    F 
When times got rough he'd phone her 
        Am                       D 
Once or twice she took the call 
         G           C              B 
Then she changed her number and she turned her head 
    Em                               E 
And Linda never looked back at all 
 
Chorus
            Am      Gm       F 
He'll never write a song for Linda 
    Em      Dm    C    F          D   E 
And she was right there all along 
Am     Gm               F    Em 
All he knows, is no one understands 
       F             G          C     Fm     F  C 
And he never wrote a Linda song 
       F             G          C     Fm     F  C 
No, he never wrote a Linda song
