CAPO on 4th FRET
G C
So I'm the first one in again,
A/Em? G
with the quiet and the window growing snow.
G C A/Em?
When I hear the furnace rouse itself from its slumber,
G
somehow suddenly I know,
Em G C
as my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan,
D G
that I'm just your little "&."
G C
When your voice springs from the intercom
A/Em? G
with announcements and reminders and a prayer,
G C
I remember how you made me feel
A/Em? G
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare.
Em G C
But like the jokes about my figure kids think I don't understand,
D G
I know I'm just your little "&."
G C
After Christmas holidays
A/Em? G
you never asked to drive me home again.
G C
And sometimes in the staff room I
A/Em? G
catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?"
Em G C
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band
D G
that I'm just your little "&."
For this bit you the piano goes something along the lines of (relative to capo);
just fool around with it:

At the last conjunction, after every other "and,"

I was just your little "&."

Capo:no capo
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
pm = palm mute
*Standard Tuning*
These are all the chords you will need. In brackets are alternative positions
which in some cases I think sound better.

So, I'm the first one in again,
With the quiet and the window growing snow,
When I hear the furnace rouse itself
From its slumber, somehow suddenly I know,
As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan
That I'm just your little ampersand.
When your voice springs from the intercom
With announcements, and reminders, and a prayer,
I remember how you made me feel,
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare,
But like the jokes about my figure
Kids think that I don't understand
I know I'm just your little ampersand
After Christmas holiday
You never asked to drive me home again
Sometimes in the staff room I
Catch your eye with "why'd it have to end, "
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band
That I'm just your little ampersand
At the last conjunction after every other and
I was just your little ampersand
