Lindisfarne – The Things I Should Have Said (Guitar)

D              Am              G            C
Two by two the lovers wandered off into the night

        D             C              G            A
Leaving me alone with someone that I only knew by sight

      Bm                   G                 Bm         A
So we sat and watched each other through the fading firelight

         Bm              C             Bm7
Each one waiting for the silence to be broken

        D                    Em
But the things I should have said

          F#m              C   
That were whispering in my head

G            D     C  D  C
Would not be spoken___

    D                   Am                G             C
The black gowned master glared at me with malice in his eye

    D                C                G              A
The spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie

      Bm              G            Bm          A
I was dumb before his accusations, I did not deny

          Bm              C                    Bm7
When he'd done with me, I stood outside there, shattered

        D                    Em
And the things I should have said

          F#m           C   
That came rushing to my head

G         D     C  D  C
No longer matter_____

D                   Am                     G                C
Teachers from whose hallowed mouths, great pearls of wisdom fall

   D                  C          G             A
To those who scrawl obscenities upon the alley walls

    Bm             G               Bm              A
The joke is on the bloke who never spoke a word at all

          Bm             C                      Bm7
But whose dreams lay unrevealed, 'til they were rotten

        D                    Em
And the things I should have said

           F#m           C   
That I was keeping in my head

G            D     C  D  C  D  C
Have been forgotten__

                             D   C  D  C  D  C
All the things I should have said
