[Verse]
G B7
Everyone loved Danni
Em Am
Her smile was just impossible
D7 G
She could light the room up
D/F#
Without even being there
G B7
And everyone knew Danni
Em Am
Her mother said she was a masterpiece
D G
Smiling brown eyes
D/F# G
Of course, a curl in her hair
[Verse]
B7
She laughed as she joked
Em Am
She smiled when she spoke
A7
She made you feel that you were
D D7
The only boy in the world
G B7
And she was my best friend
Em Am
In class, she sat in front of me
D G
I let her have all my answers free
D7 G
'Cause Danni was my girl
[Verse]
B7
A schoolboy, just ten years old
Em Am
When I wrote my first song for her
D7 G
I still see the green old copybook
D/F#
I wrote these words down on
G B7
They said that I would marry her
Em Am
We'd both go and live in Ottawa
D G
There was a picture you see of Canada
D/F# G
Beside me on the wall
[Verse]
B7 Em
She said sometime she would marry me
A7 D7
That really made me glad
B7 Em
Other days she wouldn't speak to me
A7 D D7
Those days were really bad
[Instrumental]
G B7 Em Am D G D
G B7 Em Am D G D7 G
[Verse]
B7
Mr Adams, well, he was watching me
Em Am
As I wrote these words down
D G
"Danni darling, I just love you
D/F#
I will never let you down"
G B7
He picked up my old green copybook
Em Am
He did not laugh or sneer or shout
D G
He read it once or twice and gave it back
D
Never read my song words out
[Verse]
G B7
And you know, I still remember him
Em Am
I forgot Danni long ago
D7 G
Though I did hear she moved to Canada
D G
Where she enjoys the ice and snow
