Gerry Rafferty – Keep It To Yourself (Guitar)

Dm                          G
I walk along the street and wonder what to do

            Bb
I'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brain

          Dm
But as to how, I haven't a clue

Dm
Should I shout at the people who pass me by

G
Hey folks look at me, I'm no ordinary guy

Bb
I had a love and she swore she was mine

    Dm
But she only loved me when the weather was fine.

Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do

                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else

                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know

              Dm
Keep it to yourself.

Dm
On a subway train, I hide from the rain

           G
And take a seat right next to the door

        Bb
There's a man with a case and as I look at his face

  Dm
I'm sure I've seen him someplace before

Dm
He looks up and I look down

             G
And then we both look away

     Bb
The train slows down and my head spins 'round

           Dm
It's like scene from a one-act play.

Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do

                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else

                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know

              Dm
Keep it to yourself.

Dm                           G
I feel much better when the sun has lost its glow

          Bb
When the light of day is fading away

Dm
Yes the light is fading and I'm masquerading

     G
As a poet with something to say

        Bb
The inspiration's gone and I can't turn it on

               Dm
It's been the same since she went away.

Dm C                     Bb
My mind tells me what to do

                                  Dm   C
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else

                       Bb
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know

              Dm
Keep it to yourself.
