Intro: G 

verse 1 
     G/A G/B C       D        G 
When I   a---wake, I think of you 
    G/A  G/B C                       D      
Who made my  heart break and made me feel like a fool 
    C                  Bm 
You led me on, just to bring me down 
    E7        Am 
And I fell so low 
           D                  Em 
So, if the stars are bright tonight 
         D      G   C G 
I’ll get up and go 


verse 2 
  G/A G/B C      D              G 
O-on  my  way, I walked through town 
        G/A  G/B  C          D      
Stopped at   your house, but you weren’t around 
    C                 Bm 
The lights were on to ward off thieves 
      E7                 Am 
While you stayed out all night 
           D                G 
But it was you who stole my heart 
         C                 D 
When you hadn’t any right 

 
     G  Em        D        G 
It’s my town, but I had to leave it 
         Em              C          D 
And head South where the climate is kind 
         G    Em         D   C       Em A7 
And if a time comes when I’m feeling better 
        C             D            G       C G 
I’ll be back with the birds in the Spring 


Instrumental 
G    Em  D  G    Em  D  G  C G 


verse 3 
  G/A G/B C          D        G 
Paid  my  fare and I took the train 
    G/A  G/B C        D      
I’d soon for-get, but now I felt the pain 
  C                 Bm 
I tried to think of better days 
E7          Am 
Lying in my berth 
  D          G 
I pondered revenge 
    C                   D 
For what it was worth 

 
     G  Em        D        G 
It’s my town, but I had to leave it 
         Em              C          D 
And head South where the climate is kind 
         G    Em         D   C       Em A7 
And if a time comes when I’m feeling better 
        C             D            G       C G 
I’ll be back with the birds in the Spring
