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