Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

Don’t Speak of My Heart Gerry Rafferty
G C D
1.Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
G C D
I’m writing the book each and every day
G C D
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
G Em C D
I’ve been running on empty since you went away.
1st Chorus
C D C D
The spirit world looks down on us
Em Am
Sad that we’re apart
C D G
So please don’t speak of my heart.
2. Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile I’m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there’s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday I’m gonna love again.
2nd Chorus (same chords as 1st Chorus)
The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don’t speak of my heart.
Bridge 1
G Em C G
Every day’s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
Em Am D G
No one believed we were saying ‘Goodbye’
Em Am G
And every night I think of you I’m still left wondering why
C G D C
I can’t believe that we’re saying goodbye.
Bridge 2
Em D
And when I wake up in the morning
Em D
And wonder where I’m going to
Em C
It all came without a warning
Em D
What’s a man supposed to do?
Em D
Don’t let your heart break down
Em D
Don’t let your heart break down.
Repeat 1st Verse
C D C D
The spirit world looks down on us,
Em Am
Sad that we’re apart
C D C D
Don’t wanna talk about it -- don’t make me think about it
C D G
So please don’t speak of my heart.
