lyrics

Bride 1945 Paul Siebel

(F) She was so (E)young then,
(Bb) He wasn't much (C)older,
(F) He loved her (E)some then,
(Bb) He was a (C)soldier.
(Dm) She wrote him a (A)letter
Every (Dm)day a(C)cross the (Bb)sea,
(F) He sent her (Dm)postcard
Of the (Bb)boys in his (C)compa(F)ny. (Gm) (C)

(F) The war was (E)over,
(Bb) And yeah, they got (C)married,
(F) Everything´s (E)clover,
(Bb) Her and her (C)Harry.
(Dm) She planned the (A)future,
What´s a (Dm)girl to (C)think a(Bb)bout?
(F) A home in the (Dm)suburbs,
If they could (Bb)learn to (C)do with(F)out. (Gm) (C)
- Instrumental verse -

(F) Rollers and (E)hairpins,
(Bb) She doesn't (C)care now,
(F) Harry's a (E)salesman,
(Bb) He's hardly (C)there now.
(Dm) It's all for (A)nothing,
And the (Dm)kids don't (C)care at (Bb)all,
(F) One just quit (Dm)college,
And the (Bb)youngest (C)left last (F)fall. (Gm) (C)

(F) She was so (E)young then,
(Bb) He wasn't much (C)older,
(F) He loved her (E)some then,
(Bb) He was a (C)soldier.
(Dm) She planned the (A)future,
What´s a (Dm)girl to (C)think a(Bb)bout?
(F) A home in the (Dm)suburbs,
If they could (Bb)learn to (C)do with(F)out.

Jan Hauenstein Göttingen, Germany

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
