Happy Days And Auld Lang Syne chords by Richard Thompson

Chords with lyrics

BB
He said, Dear, I’m leaving, right there in the hallway
 			   E MajorE
As the party roared on all around
                 BB
And her head wouldn’t turn, O she couldn’t look at him
   F#F#      C# minorC#m   F#F#
In a whirlpool she quietly drowned

G# minorG#m        D#D#    G# minorG#m        D#D#
And she said to herself, I won’t cry, I won’t grieve
G# minorG#m           D#D#      E MajorE
But I’ll laugh and I’ll flow with the wine
                      BB
With the fast love of strangers we’ll sing Sweet Bye and Bye
   F#F#         BB
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

   BB
How I wish I knew all the old songs they’re singing
            				    F#F#
Such comfort they’re bringing to a heart that’s as empty as mine
   C# minorC#m			  E MajorE
O it lifts you so high, does the Sweet Bye and Bye
   F#F#         BB
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

And she said, I’ll be wearing my smile like a mask
And I’ll care for each stranger I kiss
And no-one will know that I’m wounded and cheated
So close to my moment of bliss
And sometimes you never connect with a song
Till it’s telling the way that you feel
Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory
How can it be written so real

How I wish I knew...
