[Verse]
Bm               F#
Play me old king cole

     E               F#
That I may join with you,

         A                  D
All your hearts now seem so far from me

                   A
It hardly seems to matter now.

        Bm                  F#
And the nurse will tell you lies

     E                  F#
Of a kingdom beyond the skies.

         A                D
But I am lost within this half-world,

                   A
It hardly seems to matter now.
[Chorus]
E
Play me my song.

F#
Here it comes again.

E
Play me my song.

F#
Here it comes again.

       F#m
Just a little bit,

       F#m
Just a little bit more time,

F#m
Time left to live out my life.

            Am 
la la la la la la la la la la

Play me my song.

Here it comes again.

F#m                 B
Old king cole was a merry old soul,

      D                  F#m
And a merry old soul was he.

      F#m
So he called for his pipe, 

       B
And he called for his bowl,

       D                       F#m
And he called for his fiddlers three.

        F#m         E
But the clock, tick-tock,

         D
On the mantlepiece -

      D
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch,

E    F#
Her warmth...
[Instrumental] E F# (x4) E D F# E F# (x4) E D F# [Verse]
D#m                  
She's a lady, shes got time,

F#                    E                            F#  
 Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face.

D#m                     
Shes a lady, she is mine.

F#                    E                            F#
 Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.
[Instrumental] F# B C# F# B C# [Verse]
F#       D#m     Bbm       G#m         
Ive been waiting here for so long

             F#
And all this time has passed me by

B                             F#
It doesn't seem to matter now

F#    B           C#        F#              B C# 
  You stand there with your fixed expression

F#      D#m            Bbm      G#m
Casting doubt on all I have to say.

             F#        E     F# 
Why dont you touch me, touch me,

E    F#   E         F# E F# E F# 
Why dont you touch me, touch me,

         B      ( E F# E B E F#     E F# E B E B ) - repeat several times
Touch me now, now, now, now, now...
