Verse
(tacet)
Many years have passed, it seems
(tacet)
And I am all alone
(tacet)
I've sent the children far away
(tacet)
To some obscure unknown
(tacet)
It's so sad, so sad
[Chorus]
D# G#
Close another door
D# G# A#
Listen to my eyes
D# G#
Close another door
D# G#
You're much too old to work
A# A#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
D#
When I was young, I used to say
G# A#
That age won't bother me
D#
The life I had was very sad
G# A#
It all went out to sea
Fm A# A#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
D# G#
Close another door
D# G# A#
Listen to my eyes
D# G#
Close another door
D# G#
You're much too old to work
A#(sus4) D
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
D#
Though the sun is in outside
G# A#
The rain is in my hair
D#
Now all my life is lived inside
G# A#
My home is in my chair
Fm A# A#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
D# G#
Close another door
D# G# A#
Listen to my eyes
D# G#
Close another door
D# G#
You're much too old to work
A# A#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Outro]
D# D#7
Let me go
G# C#7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
D# A#
I may be old but I've been told
G# A#
At least I'm still alive
D# D#7
Fly me up
G# C#7
Fly me up and send me home
D# A#
I've been working so, so very hard and
G# A#
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
