[Verse]
C F Dm7
She was twenty-six when she came to the 'burbs
F C
Where the family secrets stop at the curb (stop at the curb)
F
I was nine when she moved next door
Dm7 F C
She had married a Republican, he was for the war
Am
(He was for the war, he was for the war)
Em
He was mean, he beat her up
F C Am
All the time preaching that Republican stuff
Em
Hated blacks, he hated Jews
F C
And knelt down Sunday at Our Lady Of The Blues
C
Lady Of The Blues (Lady Of The Blues)
[Verse]
F
Over at my house, things were sad
Dm7 F C
Because my folks were always fighting, that made me feel bad (me feel bad)
F
I went to her door with a cookie tin
Dm7 F C
I said, "I am your neighbour, would you let me in?"
Am
(Would you let me in, would you let me in)
Em
She was big, having a baby
F C Am
She asked me, "Are you hungry", I said maybe
Em F
She gave me soup, a piece of toast
C Dm
She gave me what I needed the most
[Chorus]
G7
Yeah
Em7 Dm
Thank you for the love you gave
G
To me as a child
Em7 Dm
There must have been so much pain
G F
That you never cried
Fmaj7/C C G F
In my home_________
C
Away from home (away from home)
Fmaj7/C C G F
Home_________
C
Away from home (home)
[Verse]
F
Then one day we found a sick bird
Dm7 F C
On the very same doorstep where I first met her (first met her)
F
Being a nurse, well, she took the bird in
Dm7 F C
Fed her with an eyedropper 'til the following spring (following spring)
Am Em
When the time came to let the bird go
F C Am
This is what she said when I cried 'No'
Em
"If you keep her locked inside
F C Dm
Honey, she won't be able to fly"
[Chorus]
G7
Yeah
Em7 Dm
Thank you for the love you gave
G
To me as a child
Em7 Dm
There must have been so much pain
G F
That you kept inside
Fmaj7/C C G F
In my home_________
