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]
C# F#
Close another door
C# F# G#
Listen to my eyes
C# F#
Close another door
C# F#
You're much too old to work
G# G#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]

It's so sad, so sad (break)

Close another door

You're much too old to work

Though the sun is in outside
F# G#
The rain is in my hair

Now all my life is lived inside

My home is in my chair

It's so sad, so sad (break)

[Outro]
C# C#7
Let me go
F# B7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane

I may be old but I've been told
F# G#
At least I'm still alive
C# C#7
Fly me up

Fly me up and send me home

I've been working so, so very hard and
F# G#
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
