[Db]
[A] [Bbm] To see her after many years, [Ebm] it came as no surprise
[C] [Ab] The shadow of another line [Db] beneath those sparkling eyes
[Bbm] Perhaps she walked with slower pace, [Ebm] not quite so steady hand
[Ab] But children still expected her to love but to [Db] command
And I went to see Miss Nightingale [Ebm]
after many years
[Ab] We drank our tea at half past three, [Db] our little fingers raised
A hundred souls at her command, [Ebm] some knocking at the door
[Ab]
Miss Nightingale is taking tea, so come back [Db] after four
[Bbm] And silence came to any room, [Ebm] Miss Nightingale was near
[Ab] She made the history books so dull, [Db] relived exciting years
[Bbm] And geography was no sad chore, [Ebm] mathematics too
[Ab] Was just a game we loved to play, with rules we knew [Db] were true
And we thank you dear Miss Nightingale [Ebm]
after many years
[Ab] To drink your tea at half past three, [Db] our little fingers raised
You taught us how to laugh and cry, [Ebm] but still to question why
[Ab] You gave me faith to face the world, to speak but not to [Db] lie
[Bbm] To see her after many years, [Ebm] it came as no surprise
[Cm] [Ab] The shadow of another light [Db] beneath those sparkling eyes
[Bbm] Perhaps she walked with slower pace, [Ebm] not quite so steady hand
But [Ab] children still expected her to love but to [Db] command
And I went to see Miss Nightingale [Ebm] after many years
We [Ab] drank our tea at half past three, [Db] our little fingers raised
A hundred souls at her command, [Ebm] some knocking at the door
[Ab] Miss Nightingale is taking tea, so come back after [Db] four
[Ebm] Yes Miss Nightingale [Ab] is taking tea, so come back after [Bbm] four
