Biography:
Linda Thompson (born Linda Pettifer) started her singing career in the 1960s, doing advertising jingles for money and singing in folk clubs for enjoyment. She changed her name to Linda Peters, and was romantically linked to Martin Carthy before working with Richard Thompson, whom she married in 1972. As part of Richard & Linda Thompson she sang on a string of critically acclaimed albums until a bitter split in 1982. After battling voice problems over the years since, she resurfaced with a solo album in 1996, and has worked sporadically since.

Linda Thompson - The Way I Love You
[Intro]
Dm G Dm G
[Verse 1]
C F
I wish that you were here
C F
Running round my heels
C F
Only you and I know
G F
How this lonely feels
[Verse 2]
C F
I never fell in love
C F
The way that I love you
C F
But father, brother, sons
G F
Too much for any man to do
[Chorus]
Dm G
So you fly and you fly, fly away
Dm G
So you fly and you fly, fly away
[Verse 3]
C F
I’d keep you with me still
C F
Even though I know
C F
Nothing’s worth the holding
G F
If you can’t let go
[Verse 4]
C F
I spend my nights alone
C F
Or in drunken company
C F
That’s the only medicine
G F
That’s left for me
[Chorus]
Dm G
Till I fly, till I fly, fly away
Dm G
Till I fly, till I fly, fly away
[Instrumental]
C F C F C F G F (2x)
[Verse 5]
C F
I need to have something
C F
That money cannot buy
C F
But even children know
G F
That only angels fly
[Verse 6]
C F
All these wasted years
C F
I never have been sure
C F
When to ask for less
G F
And when to beg for more
[Chorus]
Dm G
Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?
Dm G
Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?
[Outro]
