_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The war was over, I was living with my folks
I called upstairs, [G] hey mom, I'm off to [C] grab some smokes
[A] And my father [Dm] asked, why'd you [G] need to smoke so late?
_ [Gm] Well, I lied.
_ I had a date
_ _ [F] Free from my folks, _ _ enslavement
[Am] _ Skipping along the _ pavement
[N] To see a brunette who I'd never met
But I'd never [C] _
forget [F] how she looked in that [E] dress _ _
[F] How she reached out [E] her hand and [Am] said
My name is [Dm] Cecily Smith _
_ And I hope you [G] like music
_ _ [F] Cause I've got two tickets for La _ Traviata
And that's when I said, I hate opera
_ _ She laughed and said, well lucky for you
You're [E] with [F] Cecily Smith
_ [D] Who cares what you are listening to
It's who you're listening [A] _ [F] with
_ We _ take our seats, her hands are folded in her lap
If not a kiss, [Gm] then at least I [C] get a nap
[Fm] So I close [Gbm] my [B] eyes as the [G] orchestra begins
Then [Gm] I _ hear violins
_ [Fm] And the hole in [F] my neck was _ rising
[A] A feeling new and _ surprising
[G] But it wasn't the sound that made my [E] heart pound
No, it was because I found [F] her hand is in mine
[E] _ And [F] _ that's where it will stay until they play [Dm] the final _ chord
_ _ She says, were [Gm]
you _ bored?
And I [F] say, I guess it [A] wasn't [Dm] quite so bad
It was the best time that [G] I ever _ [Eb] had
She laughed and said, [F] well lucky for you
[D] I got seats to [F] Beethoven's Fifth _
[C] Who cares what [F] you are listening to
It's who you're listening with
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] A perfect [Bb] wife _
_ _ _ _ A _ [C]
perfect _ _ [Bb] _ _ love
The _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ time exploded like a bullet from [Fm] a gun
A week, a year, and then a [E] marriage and a son
And [Dbm] her rental [G] where I can still hear her laugh
When [Gb] I hear the phonograph
_ [F] And I let the music guide me
[A] And Cecily sits beside _ me
[F] The girl of nineteen [G] with a nervous [F] marine
Feels her head begin [C] to lean as the [F] melody soars
[E] _ _ [Fm] _ And though [A] it was real, it doesn't feel like [Dm] it could be _ _
The night [Gm] when you [G] said to me _
That I've [F] got two tickets [A] for La _ Traviata
[B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [A] _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sad but true how much I miss you
I miss you [F] Cecily Smith _
_ Life is not the things we do
_ It's who we're doing them with _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Hey, thank you very much for watching my cover of Cecily Smith by Will Connerly, aka Jeremy here.
It's such a cute, but kind of heart-breaking songwrite.
Oh my gosh, I fell in love with it when I heard it.
Do go listen to the original.
I don't feel like I've done it justice at all.
But yeah, thank you very much.
[D] And credits to who I got the tabs from.
I mean, I wrote up all the chords, then realised that there was already a tab on Ultimate Guitar.
So I'm going to link to that in the description.
Thank you very much to
