CAPO 2
[INTRO]
D (Dsus 4 hammer on)
[VERSE 1]
[D]Sits alone in his [G]chair by the fire
Bm A (Asus 4 hammer on)
Sips the whisky from his glass
[D]The old man savours e[G]very last taste
Bm A (Asus 4 hammer on)
Because he knows that it could be his last
[Bm]Starts to write a let[D]ter to his love
He says [A]I’m sorry darling I blame m[G]yself
[Bm]I can’t quite understand what you??[D] ?re going through
But I’l[A]l try to carry on because there??[E] ?s little left to do
E (Esus4)
There’s little left to do without you
[CHORUS]
[G]If you’re a bird then I’m a bir[D]d I don’t want to go o[A]n without you
[G]Cos I’ll be Jack and you’ll be [D]Jill I don’t think we’ve[A] got far to go
[D] [Dsus4]
[VERSE 2]
[D]She sits despondent in her w[G]orld by the window
[Bm]Undiscerning the world out[A]side
[D]As her memory’s are [G]depleting
She regr[Bm]esses and becomes more like a c[A]hild
[Bm]And every person or re[D]lation that happens to be
Sh[A]e knows she recognises but [G]she just doesn’t see
[Bm]And sometimes when she l[D]ooks at the old man
[A]As he says I love you darling
She smiles because [E]she knows she’s his darling
E (Esus4)
[CHORUS]
[G]If you’re a bird then I’m a bir[D]d I don’t want to go o[A]n without you
[G]Cos Ill be Jack and you’ll be Jil[D]l I don’t think we’ve go[A]t far to go
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [D] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
[VERSE 3]
It’s bee[Bm]n 60 years and now thes[D]e winters are getting so cold
I didn’[A]t realise that we had grown s[G]o old
[Bm]If only the mind could re[D]wind
Then she could go [A]back to the old man
And they could [E]share a glass of wine
And f[Esus4]ind a way to pass the [E]time
[END CHORUS]
