Song For Gaby chords

[INTRO]
[E] [G7] [C7]

[VERSE 1]
The white-throated sparrow [A7]sings a lonesome song
And only [F#7]serves to remind me that my [Bm]dear mother’s gone
That my[E7] dear mother’s gone

[VERSE 2]
The [Dm]sky had clouded over
The [A]sun had gone away
One [B7]sad afternoon
In the un[E7]merry month of May [G7] [C7]

[VERSE 3]
The pink and yellow lilies still [A7]haunt with their perfume
And only [F#7]serve to remind me of her [Bm]lying in that room
Of her [E7]lying in that room

[VERSE 4]
The [Dm]rain was coming down
As they [A]took her out the door
[B7]Never to return
To her dear [E7]home anymore [G7] [C7]

[VERSE 5]
Jane was in the choir-loft with [A7]Rufus at her side
They [F#7]sang and played "What’ll I Do When [Bm]You Are Far Away”
And they [E7]waltzed her down the aisle

[VERSE 6]
There’ll be [Dm]no more banjo-weekends, not in St-Sauveur
No more l[A]ittle white-haired mother
Sitting [B7]in an Adirondack chair
Sitting [E7]in an Adirondack chair [G7] [C7]

[VERSE 7]
The rain and the tears came down as they [A7]put her in the ground
With her [F#7]parents and her husband and her [Bm]sisters all around
And her [E7]sisters all around
