NOTHING MORE
Sandy Denny
D F
My friend I know you’ve suffered,
C G
Although you are still young.
D F
Why was it you who’d not take help
C G
From anyone?
D F
Oh it’s true, it's very true, he said,
C G
Some hard times I have known,
D F
But I have always overcome them
C G
On my own.
D F
Oh the pearls that you hold in your hand
C G
They are beautiful to see,
D F
But you show them not to anyone,
C G
Not even me.
D F
For you are like the others, he said.
C G
I never can be sure
D F
That you wish just to see the pearls
C G
And nothing more.
D F
Why can you not see reason?
C G
Our lives they are not long.
D F
Why can you take no time
C G
To tell us all we’re wrong?
D F
My tune it does not change, he said,
C G
And neither does your song,
D F
And words I use them rarely
C G
When I’m all alone.
