_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That's [Gm] _
here so _ long in Shednor _ _ _ We've _ [Fm]
said our _ _ last [Bb]
goodbye
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] The soul's been blessed _ He's [Cm]
laid _ to rest
[Fm] It's now _ I _ _ [Bb] feel alone _ _ He was _ more than _ _ just a father
_ _ A _

_ And the [Bb] tunes we shared _ _ _
[C] When _ I'm on [Bb] my own
_ _ No, [Eb] I _ _ never _ will _
[Bb] forget him _ _ _ [Eb] For he made me what I [Bb] _
am
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Though he may _ be gone, [Gm] _
memories linger _ _ on _ _ _ I'll _ _ be missing _ _ [F] _ the [Bb] old man _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Gm] And show me _ things [Eb] not known [F] to kings _ _ Secrets between him [Bb] and me
_ _ _ _ Like the _ colours _ of [F] the pheasant _ _ _ As [Fm] he rises _ _ in [Bb] the dawn
_ _ [F] Or [Gm] _ _
how to fish _ _ [F] Or make a wish _ _
Beside _ a fairy [Bb] _
tree _ _ No, [Eb] I _ _ never will [Bb] _ _
forget him

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I thought _ he'd live _ [Eb] _ forever _ _ _ [Fm] He seemed so _ [G] big and [Bb] strong _ _
_ But [Gm] the minutes fly _ And the years roll by
_ For [Fm] a father _ and [Bb] a son _ _ _ And _ _ _ suddenly _ _ [Eb] it happened
_ _ [Bb]
There [F] was so much _ left [Bb] _ unsaid _ _ _ _ [Gm] No second chance _ _
[Eb] To tell him thanks _ [F] For _ everything _ _ [Bb] he'd done
_ _ _ No, [Eb] I _ _ never will [Bb] _
forget him _ _ [Eb] For he made me what [Bb] I _ am

memories linger _ _ on _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'll be missing _ [F] _ _ the old man
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ I'll be missing _ _ [F] _ the [Gm] old man
