Lucy Kaplansky - The Red Thread
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C G C
G C
I was only a girl, when I went out on my own
G C
You wrapped me up warm, and just let me go
Em D G
Now I live at the far end of this long distance line
C D
And I'm just another one, who's gone and left you behind
G C
Wish we could look at your pictures, all the places you've been
G C
You don't think you will, but you can see them again
Em D C
'Cause you can see them through me, the brown eyes I got from you
D
Oh, but now I wish I could give 'em back to you
CHORUS:
Em D
This much I can say, this much I can do
C A7 A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you
C D G C G C
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you
G C
I wish that I could tell you, it'll all be alright
G C
But you never did believe it, through the trials of your life
Em D G
And you and I both know, it just isn't true
C D
When so much you love, has been taken from you
G C
And I remember when you told me, if we run out of time
G C
How happy you were, just to know she'll be mine
Em D G
When I wrap her up warm, you'll be right next to me
C D
'Cause they say the red thread that ties me to you, ties her in me
CHORUS:
Em D
This much I can say, this much I can do
C A7 A
When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you
