Song For Gaby

Written by Anna McGarrigle

	  		
Intro: E  G7  C7 

verse 1 
                           A7 
The white-throated sparrow sings a lonesome song 
         F#7                         Bm 
And only serves to remind me that my dear mother’s gone 
       E7 
That my dear mother’s gone 


verse 2 
    Dm 
The sky had clouded over 
    A 
The sun had gone away 
    B7 
One sad afternoon 
         E7                   G7  C7 
In the unmerry month of May 


verse 3 
                                 A7 
The pink and yellow lilies still haunt with their perfume 
         F#7                       Bm 
And only serve to remind me of her lying in that room 
       E7 
Of her lying in that room 


verse 4 
    Dm 
The rain was coming down 
        A 
As they took her out the door 
B7 
Never to return 
            E7             G7  C7 
To her dear home anymore 


Verse 5 
                                A7 
Jane was in the choir-loft with Rufus at her side 
     F#7                                Bm 
They sang and played “What’ll I Do When You Are Far Away” 
         E7 
And they waltzed her down the aisle 


Verse 6 
            Dm 
There’ll be no more banjo-weekends, not in St-Sauveur 
         A 
No more little white-haired mother 
        B7 
Sitting in an Adirondack chair 
        E7                       G7  C7 
Sitting in an Adirondack chair 


Verse 7 
                                         A7 
The rain and the tears came down as they put her in the ground 
         F#7                             Bm 
With her parents and her husband and her sisters all around 
        E7 
And her sisters all around
