Chords with lyrics
Lucy Kaplansky - I'll See You Again
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G+G
My dad was at the piano
The night he met my mom
D MajorD
She asked him to play, "I'll See You Again"
C majorC G+G
That old Noël Coward song
She told him he was conceited
He slung one back at her
D MajorD
He didn't mind that her singing wasn't good
C majorC G+G
When he got a good look at her
C majorC G+G
She learned that song when she was a kid
C majorC D MajorD
Lost her dad when she was young
C majorC E minorEm
Never got to say goodbye
C majorC D MajorD
Maybe that's why it was her song
She sing..
CHORUS:
G+G
I'll see you again
Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC D MajorD
Whenever spring breaks through again
C majorC D MajorD
Though the years my tears may dry
C majorC D MajorD
I shall love you 'til I die
C majorC G+G
Goodbye
I'm out in California
I'm driving my dad and me
D MajorD
He's crying, he says "Thought I'd be the first to go"
C majorC G+G
"How could this happen to me?"
He says, "She told me never to bring her here"
As we drive up to that home
D MajorD
People go to die
C majorC G+G
But she keeps hanging on
C majorC G+G
My dad looks down at the floor
C majorC D MajorD
As he holds on to her hand
C majorC E minorEm
She says to me, "How could he leave me here?"
C majorC D MajorD
No, he never went there again
CHORUS:
G+G
I'll see you again
Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC D MajorD
Whenever spring breaks through again
C majorC D MajorD
Though the years my tears may dry
C majorC D MajorD
I shall love you 'til I die
C majorC G+G
Goodbye
INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm G+G
One year later in my brother's house
My dad's in his dying bed
D MajorD
As if she's already dead and gone
C majorC G+G
Not a word about her is said
Later that day I visit her
My brother comes along
D MajorD
She thinks she's home with my dad
C majorC G+G
Can't remember he's ever gone
C majorC G+G
My brother picks up his guitar
C majorC D MajorD
He sang, "I'll See You Again"
C majorC E minorEm
My mom remembers all the words
C majorC D MajorD
Right down to the end
CHORUS:
G+G
I'll see you again
Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC D MajorD
Whenever spring breaks through again
C majorC D MajorD
Though the years my tears may dry
C majorC D MajorD
I shall love you 'til I die
C majorC
Goodbye
G+G
Goodbye
Four years later I hold her hand
She's asleep, she'll soon be gone
D MajorD
I don't know if she can hear me
C majorC E minorEm
But I sing for her that song
C majorC G+G
And I tell her my goodbyes
C majorC G+G
I'll love you 'til I die
