Kate & Anna McGarrigle – Song For Gaby (Guitar)

                           A7
The white-throated sparrow sings a lonesome song

         F#7                         Bm
And only serves to remind me that my dear mother's gone

       E7
That my dear mother's gone

    Dm
The sky had clouded over

    A
The sun had gone away

    B7
One sad afternoon

         E7                   G7  C7
In the unmerry month of May

                                 A7
The pink and yellow lilies still haunt with their perfume

         F#7                       Bm
And only serve to remind me of her lying in that room

       E7
Of her lying in that room

    Dm
The rain was coming down

        A
As they took her out the door

B7
Never to return

            E7             G7  C7
To her dear home anymore

                                A7
Jane was in the choir-loft with Rufus at her side

     F#7                                Bm
They sang and played "What'll I Do When You Are Far Away"

         E7
And they waltzed her down the aisle

            Dm
There'll be no more banjo-weekends, not in St-Sauveur

         A
No more little white-haired mother

        B7
Sitting in an Adirondack chair

        E7                       G7  C7
Sitting in an Adirondack chair

                                         A7
The rain and the tears came down as they put her in the ground

         F#7                             Bm
With her parents and her husband and her sisters all around

        E7
And her sisters all around
