Lucy Kaplansky - I'll See You Again
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G  
My dad was at the piano
The night he met my mom
She Dasked him to play, "I'll See You Again"
That Cold Noël Coward Gsong
She told him he was conceited
He slung one back at her
He didn't Dmind that her singing wasn't good
When he Cgot a good look at herG  
She Clearned that song when she Gwas a kid
Lost her Cdad when she was Dyoung
CNever got to say goodEmbye
Maybe Cthat's why it was her Dsong
She sing..
CHORUS:
GI'll see you again
Whenever Dsus4spring Cbreaks Dthrough again
CThough the years my Dtears may dry
CI shall love you 'Dtil I die
GoodCbyeG  
I'm out in California
I'm driving my dad and me
He's Dcrying, he says "Thought I'd be the first to go"
"CHow could this happen to Gme?"
He says, "She told me never to bring her here"
As we drive up to that home
DPeople go to die
But Cshe keeps hanging onG  
My Cdad looks down at the Gfloor
As he Cholds on to her Dhand
She Csays to me, "How could he Emleave me here?"
No, he Cnever went there againD  
CHORUS:
GI'll see you again
Whenever Dsus4spring Cbreaks Dthrough again
CThough the years my Dtears may dry
CI shall love you 'Dtil I die
GoodCbyeG  
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    G    C    G    C   Em  G  
One year later in my brother's house
My dad's in his dying bed
As Dif she's already dead and gone
Not a Cword about her is Gsaid
Later that day I visit her
My brother comes along
She Dthinks she's home with my dad
Can't reCmember he's ever Ggone
My Cbrother picks up Ghis guitar
He sang, "CI'll See You AgainD"
My Cmom remembers Emall the words
CRight down to the Dend
CHORUS:
GI'll see you again
Whenever Dsus4spring Cbreaks Dthrough again
CThough the years my Dtears may dry
CI shall love you 'Dtil I die
GoodCbye
GoodGbye
Four years later I hold her hand
She's asleep, she'll soon be gone
I don't Dknow if she can hear me
But I Csing for her that Emsong
And I Ctell her my goodGbyes
I'll Clove you 'til I Gdie

CAPO: 1st Fret

INTRO:

My dad was at the piano

The night he met my mom

She asked him to play, "I'll See You Again"

C G

That old Noël Coward song

She told him he was conceited

He slung one back at her

He didn't mind that her singing wasn't good

C G

When he got a good look at her

C G

She learned that song when she was a kid

C D

Lost her dad when she was young

C Em

Never got to say goodbye

C D

Maybe that's why it was her song

She sing..

CHORUS:

I'll see you again

Dsus4 C D

Whenever spring breaks through again

C D

Though the years my tears may dry

C D

I shall love you 'til I die

C G

Goodbye

I'm out in California

I'm driving my dad and me

He's crying, he says "Thought I'd be the first to go"

C G

"How could this happen to me?"

He says, "She told me never to bring her here"

As we drive up to that home

People go to die

C G

But she keeps hanging on

C G

My dad looks down at the floor

C D

As he holds on to her hand

C Em

She says to me, "How could he leave me here?"

C D

No, he never went there again

I'll see you again

INSTRUMENTAL:

One year later in my brother's house

My dad's in his dying bed

As if she's already dead and gone

C G

Not a word about her is said

Later that day I visit her

My brother comes along

She thinks she's home with my dad

C G

Can't remember he's ever gone

C G

My brother picks up his guitar

C D

He sang, "I'll See You Again"

C Em

My mom remembers all the words

C D

Right down to the end

CHORUS:

I'll see you again

Dsus4 C D

Whenever spring breaks through again

C D

Though the years my tears may dry

C D

I shall love you 'til I die

Goodbye

Four years later I hold her hand

She's asleep, she'll soon be gone

I don't know if she can hear me

C Em

But I sing for her that song

C G

And I tell her my goodbyes

C G

I'll love you 'til I die
