Lucy Kaplansky - The Red Thread


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G C G C

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

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


CHORUS:
   Em          D
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C              A7     A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C          D     G       C G C
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you


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


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


CHORUS:
   Em          D
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C              A7     A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C          D     G
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you


INSTRUMENTAL: Am C Am C G D C  D


CHORUS:
   Em          D
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C              A7     A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
   Em          D
This much I can say, this much I can do
     C              A7     A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
        C          D     G       C
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you
     G   C
Watching you
     G   C  G  C
