I'll See You Again by Lucy Kaplansky






  I'll See You Again







 
CAPO: 1st Fret
 
 
INTRO: G
 
 
My dad was at the piano
 
The night he met my mom
    D
She asked him to play, "I'll See You Again"
     C               G
That old Noël Coward song
 
 
 
She told him he was conceited
 
He slung one back at her
          D
He didn't mind that her singing wasn't good
        C                     G
When he got a good look at her
 
 
    C                          G
She learned that song when she was a kid
         C                D
Lost her dad when she was young
C                    Em
Never got to say goodbye
      C                     D
Maybe that's why it was her song
 
She sing..
 
 
CHORUS:
G
I'll see you again
         Dsus4  C      D
Whenever spring breaks through again
C                   D
Though the years my tears may dry
C                 D
I shall love you 'til I die
    C      G
Goodbye
 
 
 
I'm out in California
 
I'm driving my dad and me
     D
He's crying, he says "Thought I'd be the first to go"
 C                        G
"How could this happen to me?"
 
 
 
He says, "She told me never to bring her here"
 
As we drive up to that home
D
People go to die
    C                   G
But she keeps hanging on
 
 
   C                     G
My dad looks down at the floor
      C               D
As he holds on to her hand
    C                         Em
She says to me, "How could he leave me here?"
       C                     D
No, he never went there again
 
 
CHORUS:
G
I'll see you again
         Dsus4  C      D
Whenever spring breaks through again
C                   D
Though the years my tears may dry
C                 D
I shall love you 'til I die
    C      G
Goodbye
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  C  G  C  Em G
 
 
 
One year later in my brother's house
 
My dad's in his dying bed
   D
As if she's already dead and gone
      C                 G
Not a word about her is said
 
 
 
Later that day I visit her
 
My brother comes along
    D
She thinks she's home with my dad
        C                G
Can't remember he's ever gone
 
 
   C                G
My brother picks up his guitar
          C                 D
He sang, "I'll See You Again"
   C             Em
My mom remembers all the words
C                 D
Right down to the end
 
 
CHORUS:
G
I'll see you again
         Dsus4  C      D
Whenever spring breaks through again
C                   D
Though the years my tears may dry
C                 D
I shall love you 'til I die
    C
Goodbye
    G
Goodbye
 
 
 
Four years later I hold her hand
 
She's asleep, she'll soon be gone
        D
I don't know if she can hear me
      C                 Em
But I sing for her that song
      C               G
And I tell her my goodbyes
     C               G
I'll love you 'til I die
