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