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.

WHATEVERS WRITTEN IN YOUR HEART by Gerry Rafferty
This is in the original key of G - I play it in D capo 2, as Gerry had a
deceptively high pitched voice
Intro (Repeat as required)
C G C G
Yeah, night and day and day
B7
Em
Wakin'up here on a rainy day
G C G
I swore last time that I would stay away
D C
I came down here to talk to you
D C Am G B7
I said this time I might get through
Em
I heard us speak but all the words were dead
G C G
We talked all night and left it all unsaid
D C
So we agree to disagree
D C Am G
At least we got our memory
CHORUS
C Am G C G C G
Whatever's written in your heart,that's all that matters
C Am G C G C G
You'll find a way to say it all some day (yeah)
C Am G C
Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
C G C G B7
Yeah, night and day and day
You've got your secrets yeah and I've got mine
We've played this game now for a long long time
You don't lean on anyone
You never had no place to run
You never wanted me to get too cloes
We love and hate the ones we need the most
I tried to find a way to you
One thing I could say to you
CHORUS
Instrumental
Maybe I've always set my sights too high
You take the easy way and still get by
I know there ain't no special way
We all get there anyway
I heard us speak but all the words were dead
We talked all night and left it all unsaid
So we agree to disagree
At least we got our memory
CHORUS
Repeat chorus
