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