Henry Mancini – Shannon (Guitar)

 F      Gm7         
Another day is at end 

C               Fsus4	F	F/E	Dm
Mama says she's tired again 

	Dm/C		Em7		A7	Bb		Csus4
No one can even begin to tell her 

F        Gm7            
I hardly know what to say 

C               Fsus4	F	F/E	Dm
But maybe it's better that way 

 Dm/C		Em7		A7      Bb       Csus4
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her 

F          Gm7                 F             Bbsus4  Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea 

F          Gm7             Eb		Csus4
She always loved to swim away 

F            Gm7               F            Bbsus4  Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree 

F             Eb      Bb       Dm	G7
Just like the one in our backyard 

F          Gm7          
Mama tries hard to pretend 

C               Fsus4	F	F/E	Dm
Things will get better again 

Dm/C		Em7		    A7          Bb       Csus4 
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her 

    F           Gm7              
But finally the tears fill our eyes 

C                 Fsus4	F	   F/E	   Dm
And I know that somewhere tonight 

  Dm/C		Em7		 A7        Bb       Csus4
She knows how much we really miss her 

F          Gm7                 F              Bbsus4  Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea 

F          Gm7             Eb		Csus4
She always loved to swim away 

F            Gm7                F            Bbsus4  Bb   
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree 

F             Eb      Bb       Dm	G7
Just like the one in our backyard 

 Bb          	Eb  	Bb           F 	Bb 
Just like the one in our backyard
