| Comment: |
5th chords are also what the kids call "power chords"; the chord consists of 1st & 5th tone only - therefore neither major nor minor. (& a drop 'D' tuning works wonderfully). This was on the 2nd album; the slightly different progression of the 'folk' version is at the bottom of the sheet. |
The Way I Feel
Gordon Lightfoot / Johnnie Parker
intro: D5 C D5
D5
The way I feel is like a robin
C5 G D5
Whose babes have flown to come no more
D5
Like a tall oak tree alone and crying
C5 G D5
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
D5
Now a woman Lord is like a young bird
C5 G D5
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
D5
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting
C5 G D5
When the nights are cool she is warm and dry
D5
Your coat of green it will protect her
C5 G D5
Her wings will grow your love will too
D5
But all too soon your mighty branches
C5 G D5
Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you
D5
Now the way I feel is like a robin
C5 G D5
Whose babes have flown to come no more
D5
Like a tall oak tree alone and crying
C5 G D5
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
C G5 D5
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
