Lucy Kaplansky - The Red Thread


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

   G+G            C majorC
I was only a girl, when I went out on my own
  G+G            C majorC
You wrapped me up warm, and just let me go
   E minorEm             D MajorD       G+G
Now I live at the far end of this long distance line
    C majorC                D MajorD
And I'm just another one, who's gone and left you behind

       G+G               C majorC
Wish we could look at your pictures, all the places you've been
  G+G                 C majorC
You don't think you will, but you can see them again
        E minorEm               D MajorD          C majorC
'Cause you can see them through me, the brown eyes I got from you
                      D MajorD
Oh, but now I wish I could give 'em back to you


CHORUS:
   E minorEm          D MajorD
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C majorC              A7A7     A augmentedA
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C majorC          D MajorD     G+G       C majorC G+G C majorC
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you


 G+G                 C majorC
I wish that I could tell you, it'll all be alright
    G+G                 C majorC
But you never did believe it, through the trials of your life
  E minorEm           D MajorD     G+G
And you and I both know, it just isn't true
   C majorC             D MajorD
When so much you love, has been taken from you


    G+G               C majorC
And I remember when you told me, if we run out of time
  G+G            C majorC
How happy you were, just to know she'll be mine
    E minorEm             D MajorD       G+G
When I wrap her up warm, you'll be right next to me
          C majorC                      D MajorD
'Cause they say the red thread that ties me to you, ties her in me

CHORUS:
   E minorEm          D MajorD
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C majorC              A7A7     A augmentedA
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C majorC          D MajorD     G+G
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD


CHORUS:
   E minorEm          D MajorD
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C majorC              A7A7     A augmentedA
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
   E minorEm          D MajorD
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C majorC              A7A7     A augmentedA
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C majorC          D MajorD     G+G       C majorC
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you
     G+G   C majorC
Watching you
