My Heart, It Belongs To She - Andrew (Andy M.) Stewart
[intro]
Em Bm x2
Em Bm Em Bm
Late in the evening when the gloamin' comes down
Em Bm C
It's deep in the country I'll be
Em Bm Em Bm
When all the wild creatures and all sensible men
Em Bm C
Are seekin' their beds I'll roam free.
G D Em Bm
Where the wild salmon spring through a peat water ring
Em C D Bm
And the blackbird and the thrush ring a jig from each tree
Am G Em Bm
Some contentment I'll find with the town far behind
Em Bm C
For my heart, it belongs to she.
Em Bm Em Bm
And who could have blamed her, she married so young
Em Bm C
And what of this world did she see?
Em Bm Em Bm
Naught but pots and of pans and a hard drinking man
Em Bm C
Being a wife and a mother of three.
G D Em Bm
And who could have blamed her when passion's wild flame
Em C D Bm
And the young man with money one day replaced me?
Am G Em Bm
Being a fool from the start, now I've paid with my heart
Em Bm C
For my heart, it belongs to she.
Em Bm Em Bm
If I pass a cottage and a family within
Em Bm C
Its light and its warmth leave me cold.
Em Bm Em Bm
And if I pass a young girl who catches my eye
Em Bm C
Her youth and her hope leave me old.
G D Em Bm
And who could have blamed her when all else had failed
Em C D Bm
Whose hopes and whose dreams were no interest to me?
Am G Em Bm
Being a fool from the start, now I've paid with my heart
Em Bm C
For my heart, it belongs to she.
