Chords for Cheryl Wheeler - Gandhi Buddha & Counterversion

_ _ Well, because it's making [D] me, I just, it's [E] one of those days when I felt, when I feel
[N] _ _ just blown away by how blessed I am and I'm talking, it's just wonderful and we're so
happy and this is a song I wrote for her.
We've been together, _ I don't know, a long time. _
_ _ I don't know, 14, 15 years now, something like that.
But _ we got married, it'll be eight years ago, it meant that we actually got married. _ _
That was, _ _ _ that's _ fantastic and it's funny because I had never really considered [G#] it,
I mean I just knew it wasn't ever going to be in my life path and I didn't care.
I should [E] have cared but I didn't care.
I care so much about it now.
And so this [A] is just a song that _ _ I wrote to [E] her, not, you know, long before we got married
[Em] but I'm really glad that I'm married to her.
I never [B] thought it would make a difference, you know, _ since I couldn't get married I thought
well I don't care, you know, what [F#] difference could it make?
And it does make a difference and I don't know why but it does.
[C] So this is [E] a song I wrote for her a long time ago.

_ My hands is brown and dry, you call me out and point to your November sky.
Must have [A] been done before, _ [E] for someone like that.
I must have saved lives by the [A] hundreds, [E] _
everywhere I went.
Must [A] have brought rest to the restless, [E] fed the hungry too.
I must [Bm] have done something _ _ [E] great _
[A] [E] to get to heaven.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _

_ And when the [A] cold _ comes _ [F#m] and you are [Em] brighter, fairer, and [E] fast asleep. _
_ I'll turn the [A] light on _ _ [F#m] to watch the [E] snow outside fall softly. _ _
_ _ And when the winter morning shines over _ and the blue,
_ [C#m] we'll watch the dogs [Bm] run through the [E] field like children.
I must have [A] been done before, for [E] _
someone like that.
I must have saved [D]
lives by the [A] hundreds, [E] _
everywhere I went.
Must [A] have brought rest to the restless, [E] fed the hungry too.
Must [Bm] have done something _ _ [E] great _
[A] to [E] get to [A] heaven. _
_ And _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _
_ _ I suppose stranger things have come [A] to pass, beneath [Bm] the forest [C#] I [E] can't see.
_ And I was [Bm] so down and [F#m] lost, [E] in fading [A] place.
How did you [E] find your way to me?
_ Oh, I must have [A] been done before, for [E] someone _ like that.
I must have [D] saved lives by the [A] hundreds, [E] _
everywhere I went.
I must [A] have brought rest to the restless, [E] fed the hungry too.

Right after I wrote that, I wondered if I could write a counter-version for it. _ _ _
Oh, sorry.
What you just heard is the version of that song I want to sing to Kathleen,
but I [E] wondered if I could write the version she'd want to sing today. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ I'll sing [N] you just a couple of verses of that version.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ Man, _
_ _ [E] _ this wind [A] blows, _ _ [F#m] scatters all these [Am] leaves I've raked [E] all day.
_ And your smog, though, [A] _ _ [F#m] let our cat [Am] keep scatting [E] in the _ way.
_ [A] I've got to take that [E] [F#m] garden [E] fence back down,
_ [A] so your local [F#m] yokel friend [E] can plow the ground.
I must [A] have been Hitler or [E] Zin or someone like that.
I must have caused [Dm] death and _ destruction [E] _ everywhere I went.
I must have brought [A] torts to the tortured, _ [E] beat some nuns up too.
I must have [Bm] done something.
_ [D] _
Man, _ [A] _ [E] I have to [A] hand it. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ And when the cold _ [A] comes, _ [F#m] and you have turned [Am] the heat to [E] 95,
_ _ I'll put some [A] shorts on _ _ [F#m] and wonder how the [A] cats and dogs [E] survive.
_ _ _ And [F#m] when the winter morning shines [E] all white and blue,
I'll [F#m] tell you how it was when you [E] get up at two.
I must have [A] been Hitler or Zin [E] or someone like that.
I must have [D] caused death and [A] destruction _ [E]
everywhere I went.
I must have [A] brought torts to the tortured, [E] drown some puppies too.
I must [Bm] have done something.
_ [Em] Man, _ _
[A] [E] I have to [A] hand it. _
_ _ Thank _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] you very much.
