INTRO: D C G D C G D
The book I bought [C]yesterda[G]y
I started to[D] read
I found a small [C]marigo[G]ld
Pressed between [D]leaves
And in that small [C]marigo[G]ld
Well, I found a [D]note
Saying, "Please won't you [C]write to m[G]e
'Cause I'm so a[D]lone"
CHORUS:
So, I'm [C]going to [G]write back to[D]day
Yes, I'm [C]going to [G]write right a[D]way____[C][G][D]
I started, 'Dear [C]Marigo[G]ld'
Not knowing her [D]name
I just had to [C]write to yo[G]u
'Cause I feel the [D]same
You sound like that [C]marigo[G]ld
That I found to[D]day
The beauty was [C]there to be fou[G]nd
But fading a[D]way
CHORUS:
So, I'm [C]writing to [G]you to[D]day
Yes, I'm [C]writing to [G]you right a[D]way____[C][G][D]
As I started [C]writi[G]ng
Well, what can I [D]say?
I got to [C]thinki[G]ng
Where are you to[D]day?
Brown leather [C]cove[G]r
Ripped, tattered and [D]torn
It's been such a [C]long, long ti[G]me
Since the flower was [D]born
CHORUS:
There's [C]no need to [G]write back to[D]day
I'm [C]not going to [G]write right a[D]way____[C][G][D][C][G][Am]
Just like a swan she is [G]gliding
[F]Drifting from [E]here unto [Am]there
She has no thoughts of [G]dying
[F]Winter does [E]not mean des[Am]pair
Warm summer nights left be[G]hind her
[F]Thinking of [E]things that she's [Am]done
Once were her friends all a[G]round her
But [F]now she [E]is only [Am]one
BRIDGE:
[A]Swan, swan keep your [F#m]feet off the ground
Keep [Bm]flying around, it's [E7]lonely you've found
[A]You were [F#m]left on your own
You [Bm]didn't do right, not to [E7]take off and fly
When your [F]friends left that [Am]night
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F E Am G F E Am
