Chords for Eddi Reader - Ae Fond Kiss

_ We're going to do a beautiful song to unrequited love.
_ This [E] is A [A#] Fond Kiss.
_ _ _ [Am]
[E] And _ when I sing it, I sing it for [A] Nancy.
_ Because Nancy went to her grave at 86 years old
[Em] and every year she wrote in her diary on the 14th or the [F#] 13th of December
[Em] this day I'll never forget, for this was [Am] the last day I saw [E] Robert.
And that was 40 years of that.
So when I [A] sing it, I sing it for her.
Because I think Burns got over it quite quickly.
[G] _ _
But [A] he left us this beautiful song.
So thanks to her and thanks to him. _ _
You ready, Joan?
This is A Fond Kiss. _ _
