I Never Got To Know Her
(written by Shel Silverstein)

Intro:
D MajorD E MajorE A* F# minorF#m E MajorE

D MajorD      E MajorE       A augmentedA   A7A7
Never got to know her very well
D MajorD       E MajorE       A augmentedA   A7A7
All we did was spend a little time
D MajorD          E MajorE         A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
She's just a passing shadow on my mind

E MajorE             D MajorD          B minorBm
And I remember her on the streets of New York City
E MajorE             D MajorD         E MajorE
As I walked along, looking for some place to go
B minorBm                D MajorD         B minorBm
As she passed I said "Hey there's snowflakes on your lashes"
E MajorE                   A augmentedA   A7A7
And she laughed and said, "That isn't snow"

D MajorD        E MajorE       A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
She said, "they're feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky"
B minorBm           E MajorE        A augmentedA         A7A7
And she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by
D MajorD          E MajorE        A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
And we both began to laugh and then I looked into her eyes
E MajorE          E7E7
It was warmer then.

But I never got to know her very well
All we did was spend a little time
If you're waiting for a story, there's really none to tell
She's just a passing shadow on my mind

But I remember her as we woke up warm together
In her flowered room, and she said, "I'll help you pack"
She sewed my shirt, I said, "I'll stay forever"
But she laughed and put some cookies in my sack

And she said "Leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow
And someday I'll follow after; find you where you go"
And I left her in her doorway. Ah, why I'll never know
But I was younger then

I never got to know her very well
All we did was spend a little time
You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
She's just a passing shadow on my mind

E MajorE             A augmentedA
Never got to know her very well.
