Anthony John Clarke - All In The Song
Capo 6
G* = 320033
[Intro]
G G* C F G G* C
[Verse 1]
G C
Bought my girl a hat
F
Bought myself a brand new coat
C G G* C
From the money I earned singing on the road
G C
Got myself a book
F
I thought I'd take a second look
C G C
At all those things I thought this boy should know
[Verse 2]
G C
I taught myself a poem
F C
The one about old people moving on
G G* C
Sat and I learned it word for word
G C
The poem passed the time
F C
Of all the poems I've learned in all my life
G C
This was the best poem in the world
[Chorus]
G C
And it's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G
Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, with guitars
C G C
Oh, it's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G C
The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
[Verse 3]
G C
I picked up this guitar
F C
A piece of wood with half a dozen strings
G G* C
A little damage here and there
G C
Such an easy chair
F C
To pull up close and rest your voice upon
G C
Sending songs out in the air
[Verse 4]
G C
Then I dropped my book
F C
And the words fell off the page
G G* C
They all landed on the floor
G
Tried to pick them up
C F C
But the words grew legs and ran away
G C
And as they left, they shut the door
[Chorus]
G C
And it's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G
Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, with guitars
C G C
Oh, it's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G C
The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
[Instrumental]
F C F G F C F G C
[Verse 5]
G C
We took our heavy coat
F C
We climbed the highest hill that we could find
G G* C
Sat down and rested at the top
G
Then you took my face
C F C
And you wrapped it up inside your cosy hands
G C
And I begged you not to stop
[Verse 6]
G C
And all the way back home
F C
We laughed and spoke of all the plans we have
G G* C
And that you'd never ever be alone
G
Never heard you sing
C F C
And you sounded like a three piece kitchen band
G C
When you were singing on your own
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, it's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G
Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, on guitars
C G C
It's all in the songs
F
The old fashioned songs
C G C
The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
G C
The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
G F
The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
[Outro]
F C G G* C
