SONG: SHE'S GONE ARTIST: BERT SOMMER TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected]
SHE'S GONE BERT SOMMER
INTRO: Play D chord then
High E string ------5h7p5-------75---
Then back to D chord.
VERSE: D Nights by the fire when she was there
Now all I see is an empty chair Em7 She's gone AD And this man is dying
VERSE: D There was a time when I'd laugh and sing
All I have left is a dusty ring Em7 She's gone, AD There's no purpose in trying
CHORUS: Em7AD The door stays open in the day Em7A The lock's still broken DABmA And the way I feel without her here Em7 Is very strange A7D And won't change
VERSE: D Living as one when a half is gone Em7 Fallin' apart when you can't be strong alone A7D When time has no meaning
VERSE: D Passin' the night in the same routine
Playin' the part in a broken dream Em7 She's gone, A7D There's no reason for being
CHORUS: Em7AD The door stays open in the day Em7A The lock's still broken DABmA And the way I feel without her here Em7 Is very strange A7D And won't change
OUTRO: D Nights by the fire when she was there
Now all I see is an empty chair Em7 She's gone AD And this man is dying Em7 She's gone, A7DGAD There's no purpose in trying
