G
I put your record on
Am
I sing the song you wrote
Em
And you're a world away
D
But I feel closer to home
G
I know I left behind
Am
Things I've loved before
Em
But I give you my heart
D
Dearest Eleanor
G Em
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
D
After I played you the first song I wrote
G
You said you thought it had potential
G Em
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?
D
We wouldn't speak over the stereo
G
Because we knew we didn't have to
G Am Em D
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
G Am Em D
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
G
I put your record on
Am
I sing the song you wrote
Em
And you're a world away
D
But I feel closer to home
G
I know I left behind
Am
Things I've loved before
Em
But I give you my heart
D
Dearest Eleanor
G
G Em
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
D
Who didn't understand our politics?
G
We didn't care, we were self-righteous
G Em
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
D
We had a catalog of songs to sing
G
That would help us to forget
G Am Em D
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
G Am Em D
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
G
I put your record on
Am
I sing the song you wrote
Em
And you're a world away
D
But I feel closer to home
G
I know I left behind
Am
Things I've loved before
Em
But I give you my heart
D
Dearest Eleanor
