Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather
G+G C majorC
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
G+G C majorC
On the back of a rock
G+G C majorC
That you picked up on the way

By saying I love you and nearly meaning it
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
But you know I would never waste those words

Shut your mouth
C majorC G+G
You don't know what you're talking about
