Bm9 X20222 E6/9 022122 [Intro] Bm9 E6/9 X2 [Verse 1]
Bm9                    E6/9
She was something very special to me

    Bm9                            E6/9
The kind of girl you'd like to see

                Bm9      E6/9
In a movie or a rosary

                               Bm9
She could be straight-laced or homespun

   E6/9                        Bm9
Or free and easy on the run

                            E6/9
She could be meek and mild or full of fun
Bm9 E6/9 [Verse 2]
Bm9                            E6/9
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes

    Bm9                              E6/9
And cigarettes would make her strange

                            Bm9           E6/9
And when she wanted you she made it plain

Bm9                           E6/9
She would never say where she came from

          Bm9                     E6/9
It didn't seem that she had anyone

                Bm9        E6/9
To answer to or dwell upon
Bm9 [Verse 3]
                       E6/9
She liked candlelight and good wine

    Bm9              E6/9
And I would call her any time

                Bm9               E6/9
Of day or night, she didn't mind

Bm9                      E6/9
There was nothing that I wouldn't do

   Bm9                          E6/9
To prove to her my love was true

                    Bm9           E6/9
And she gave to me a dream or two
Bm6 E6/9 [Verse 4]
Bm6                             E6/9
There were times when she would never appear

    Bm6               E6/9
For days on end she'd disappear

            Bm9                      E6/9
But now the days have turned to years

Bm9                        E6/9
 I was something she could use

       Bm9                      E6/9
Like a good friend or a pair of shoes

               Bm9        E6/9
Or any kind of good news
Bm9 E6/9 Bm9 [Verse 5]
                       E6/9
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red

     Bm9                     E6/9
As I lie here in my lonely bed

                    Bm9               E6/9
And think about the things she said

Bm9                                 E6/9
She said, "Darling, there will come a day

       Bm9              E6/9
When I must run far away

                     Bm9               E6/9
I will go, my love, but you must stay"
Bm9 E6/9 Bm9 [Verse 6]
                    E6/9
She departed in the early spring

           Bm6               E6/9
She didn't leave me anything

                Bm9        E6/9
To follow or to find her

Bm6                     E6/9
She was something very special to me

    Bm6                          E6/9
The kind of girl you'd like to see

                 Bm9   E6/9
In a movie or a rosary
Bm9 E6/9 X3
