The Spinster's Almanac by Christine Fellows (
Chords by Farlen
Fm D# G# C#
Fm D# G# C# D#
C# D# G#
You're never far away from me
F# C# D# G# G#/F#
I've had this lock of your hair now for a half a century or more
Fm C# D# G#
I keep it in a matchbox in the pocket of my coat
C# D# G# F#
Saturdays I go to town just to make them laugh
C# D# G# G#/F# Fm
I learned to drive when I was 65 years old
C# D# G#
And I sit poker-straight behind the wheel
Fm D# G# C#
Mother died of influenza when we kids were small
Fm D# G# C# D#
Father never smiled again and seemed to shrink with every passing year
Fm D# G# C#
Everybody sigh and put your hands on your hips
Fm D# G#
But when I get those old songs in my head
C# D#
I can’t keep my fingers off the keys
Fm D# G# C#
Fm D# G# C# D#
C# D# G# F#
Through my research I have found all it takes to keep the chickens
C# D# G# G#/F# Fm C# D# G#
Laying eggs is opera or Gershwin played at low volumes on dad's old radio
C# D# G# F#
One concession for the hens destined for slaughter:
C# D# G# G#/F# Fm
I read them poetry, they like the Yeats the best
C# D# G#
And frankly, so do I
Fm D# G# C#
Who wouldn’t like to wake up on the Isle of Innisfree
Fm D# G# C# D#
To muck about that bee-loud glade like he?
Fm D# G# C#
Everybody sigh and put your hands on your hips
Fm D# G# C# D#
What's good enough for chickens is plenty good enough for you and me
Fm D# G# C#
Fm D# G# C# D#
C# D# G#
You're never far away from me
F# C# D# G# G#/F#
I've had this lock of your hair now for a half a century or more
Fm C# D# G#
I keep it in a matchbox in the pocket of my coat
