Biografía:
Matthew Fisher fue uno de los miembros fundadores de Procol Harum donde estaba a cargo del organo Hammond, plasmando en ese instrumento su sello inconfunduble en temas como "A Whiter Sade of Pale", "Homburg" y tantos otros. Posteriormente siguió una carrera solista editando numerosos albums, siendo el primero de ellos "Journey's End" (1973) el que incluye la bellísima composición instrumental de su autoría titulada "Separation (Theme From The Film)".

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Written by Matthew Fisher – Procol Harum's original Hammond genius.
It appears on his second solo album "I'll Be There" (1974).
The beauty of the instrumental organ part in this song
rivals his famous organ melody for "A whiter shade of pale" (IMHO).

[Verse]
A D
I packed my bags this morning
A E7
just as soon as she had gone
A D
I could have told her yesterday
E A C#7
but I guess I'm not that strong - so I've
F#m D
left a note to tell her
A E7
I wanted to be free
A A/C# D
She'll find it on the table
E A
right beside my front door key
A E D/A
[Pre-chorus]
C# F#m
And I never meant to leave this way
E A
but I had to leave somehow
G# C#m
So tell her not to worry 'bout me,
B7 D E7
it doesn't matter no -- ow.
[Chorus 1]
A D/F# D
And when she asks you why I've gone,
A E7
and why was I so cruel
A A/C# D
Won't you make her understand
E Fdim F#m D
it's not her fault at all
A E7 A
Not her fault at all
[Middle 8]
A7 D
Tell her that I really tried
E A
but couldn't see it through
A7 D
I'm sorry that I made her cry,
Bm E
but what else could I do?
[Instrumental solo]
A D A E7
A D E A C#7
F#m D A E7
A A/C# D E A
[Pre-chorus 2]
C# F#m
And I never meant to leave this way
E A
but I had to leave somehow
G# C#m
So tell her to forget about me,
B7 D E7
it doesn't matter no -- ow.
[Chorus 2]
A D/F# D
And when she asks you why I've gone
A E7
after all this time
A A/C# D
Won't you make her understand
E Fdim F#m D
it's not her fault but mine
A E7 A
Not her fault but mine
[Instrumental solo]

Note:
You can omit the passing bass notes D/F# and A/C# in the chorus.
They're not essential, but adds an extra flavour if you can master them.
The A bass in D/A at the (instrumental) chords at the end of the verse is necessary, though.
Take it as a barre chord on the fifth band;
then slide down to the C# in the pre-chorus.
The instrumental solos are played over the chords of the verse.
It appears on his second solo album "I'll Be There" (1974).
