Intro
D       (Dsus 4 hammer on)              
Verse 1
DSits alone in his Gchair by the fire 
     Bm                   A (Asus 4 hammer on)
Sips the whisky from his glass
DThe old man savours eGvery last taste
           Bm                         A  (Asus 4 hammer on)
Because he knows that it could be his last
BmStarts to write a letDter to his love
He says AI’m sorry darling I blame mysGelf
BmI can’t quite understand what you’re Dgoing through
But I’ll Atry to carry on because there’s lEittle left to do
EThere’s little left to Esus4do without you
Chorus
GIf you’re a bird then I’m a bird I Ddon’t want to go on withAout you

D       Dsus4
Verse 2
DShe sits despondent in her wGorld by the window
BmUndiscerning the world outAside
DAs her memory’s are deGpleting
She regrBmesses and becomes more like a cAhild
BmAnd every person or reDlation that happens to be
ShAe knows she recognises but Gshe just doesn’t see
BmAnd sometimes when she lDooks at the old man
AAs he says I love you darling
She smiles because Eshe knows she’s his darling
E      Esus4

Verse 3
It’s been Bm60 years and now these Dwinters are getting so cold
I didn’t Arealise that we had grown so Gold
BmIf only the mind could reDwind
Then she could go Aback to the old man
And they could Eshare a glass of wine
And fEsus4ind a way to pass the Etime
