Write A Song A Song chords by Mickey Newbury

Write A Song A Song

D                                   Em
Write a song, a song, write a song about her
A7                                  D
Hum a tune, a tune, hum a tune, you miss her
                                                  Em
Words that wouldn't rhyme, wouldn't rhyme... It's over
A7                                D
Start another line, start a line anew

Dm                                   Bb
She's the kinda girl, a man, Lord, remembers
  A7          D
Remembers.. remembers...
Dm                                   Bb
She's the kinda girl you just got to love her
       A7             D
If you know her and I knew her

G                                    C
Sitting in the dark, in the darkness of my room
               F                                    D
I wonder why I look the sky, look the sky begins to softly cry
            G                                                  C
Morning new running through the grass throught the sweet green morning dew
                F                     D
Clinging to her golden hair, I had to leave her

G          /F#       /E      /D            Am  D  Am D
Yesterdays newspaper forcast no rain for today
                                               G  /F#  /E  /D
Yesterdays news was old news the skies are all grey
G            /F#       /E        /D           Am    D  Am D
Winter is in labor and soon give birth to the Spring
                                                G  /F#  /E  /D
And sprinkle the meadow with flowers for my Angeline

Heartache and sorrow and sadness, unendlingly find
Wings on her memory  with them, she flies to my mind
She stretched her arms for a moment then went back to sleep
While morning stood watching  ever so silently weep

She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor
The cold hardwood creaked with each step that I made to the door
There I turned to her gently and said, "Hun, just look, Its Spring"
Knowing outside the window the Winter looked for Angeline
But yesterday's newspaper forcast no rain for today

Sitting in the dark...
