The Way I Feel:Gordon Lightfoot.
Top of the charts in '67.
#1.
Dm Am7 Dm
The way I feel is like a robin,
Am7 Dm
Whose babes have flown to come no more,
Am7 Dm
like a tall oak tree alone and cryin',
Am7 Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.
#2.
Dm Am7 Dm
Now a woman Lord, is like a young bird,
Am7 Dm
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart.
Am7 Dm
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting,
Dm Am7 Dm
When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry.
#3.
Am7 Dm
Your coat of green, it will protect her,
Am7 Dm
Her wings will grow, your love will too,
Am7 Dm
But all too soon your mighty branches,
Am7 Dm
Will cease to hold her. She'll fly from you.
#4.
Dm Am7 Dm
Now the way I feel is like a robin,
Am7 Dm
Whose babes have flown to come no more.
Am7 Dm
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin',
Am7 Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.
Am7 Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
