Lucy Kaplansky - Ill See You Again

      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
