Chords with lyrics

C# minorC#m      E MajorE
	comforted,

   BB         A augmentedA
And done with this desire,

   C# minorC#m          G#G#
With memory to share my bed

      C# minorC#m     E MajorE
When I am old, and comforted,

   BB         A augmentedA
And done with this desire,

   C# minorC#m     G#G#     C# minorC#m
With peace to share my fire

   C# minorC#m     E MajorE     BB      A augmentedA
I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands

  C# minorC#m          G#G#
Beneath my laundered cap,

   C# minorC#m     E MajorE     BB     A augmentedA
And watch my cool and fragile hands

 C# minorC#m       G#G#    C# minorC#m
Lie light upon my lap.


   BB            E MajorE
And I will have a sprigged gown

   BB         E MajorE
With lace to kiss my throat;

   BB         E MajorE
I'll draw my curtain to the town,

   G#G#
And hum a purring note.


   C# minorC#m     E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA
And I'll forget the way of tears,

   C# minorC#m          G#G#
And rock, and stir my tea.

   C# minorC#m    E MajorE      BB     A augmentedA
But oh, I wish those blessed years

   C# minorC#m     G#G#      C# minorC#m
Were further  than they be

   BB            E MajorE
And I will have a sprigged gown

   BB         E MajorE
With lace to kiss my throat;

   BB         E MajorE
I'll draw my curtain to the town,

   G#G#
And hum a purring note.


      C# minorC#m     E MajorE
When I am old, and comforted,

   BB         A augmentedA
And done with this desire,

   C# minorC#m          G#G#
With memory to share my bed

      C# minorC#m     E MajorE
When I am old, and comforted,

   BB         A augmentedA
And done with this desire,

   C# minorC#m     G#G#     C# minorC#m
With peace to share my fire

   C# minorC#m     G#G#     C# minorC#m
With peace to share my fire
