Chords for Marillion - Kayleigh | Het verhaal achter het nummer | Top 2000 a gogo

_ [A] There's a [Bm] fruit cage there [A] with kind of black currants and [Bm] strawberry [B] patch, raspberries.
These are the new garlic beds that we built.
We even [A] make our own apple alcohol.
[F#m] We make cider.
[G]
Scrumpty.
[Bm] There is [A] nothing better [G] than putting seeds in the ground [Bm] and then watching it grow and [F#m] nurturing it
[G] and then eventually [Bm] eating [A] the food that [F#m] you've grown.
There is [G] no better feeling.
[Bm] Do you remember?
[A] _ _ [F#m] _ [G] Chalkhawk melting on a [Bm] playground wall.
[A] Do you remember?
[F#m] Farm escapes from moonwashed college halls.
[A] Do you remember?
The cherry [G] blossom in [A] the market square.
Do you remember?
[F#m] I thought it was confetti in our hair.
[A] Key and I had started going out [G] in about 1981.
[A] She [F#] was a pharmacist at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury.
I met her and went, wow.
_ We started going out and we fell in love.
[G#] We were incredibly close but the band was just starting.
I was like a kid in a sweetie shop.
I [Bm] mean, serious on every level.
Key was kind of part of the whole thing.
[A] I _ [F#m] _ [G] gave up everything.
It was like [Bm] this is what I'm going to [A] do.
By the [F#m] way, I didn't mean to break [Bm] your heart.
[A] Please excuse me.
[F#m] I [G] never meant to break [Bm] your heart.
[A] So sorry.
[F#m] I never meant to break [Bm] your [A] heart.
[F#m] But you broke [G] mine.
So we split up late 82 when we recorded the script [N] album.
We got back together again in 83 and we kind of bounced about.
_ Then we moved to Bellsides Park.
Very expensive and a very lovely area of London. _
Then I went away to America on a tour _ and came back and she'd gone.
_ That was it.
I came back to the flat and it was only my record collection that was left there.
My record player and that was it.
She'd gone.
_ [D] _ [A] Kenny is [G] in to later say [D] I'm sorry.
[C] And Kenny, [G] you need to get it [D] together _ again.
_ [A] This can't go [G] on pretending [D] that [C] it came [G] to a natural [D]
end.
We never got back together again.
[A] When I wrote [G] Misplaced, I was still dealing [D] with the whole thing.
Have I [C] done the right thing?
[G] I [D] wanted to kind of get it out of my system.
So the whole [A] Misplaced theme [G] was based [D] around Kay regretting,
[C] but at the [G] same time [D] recognising that my life had completely changed.
Kenny.
[A] _ [G] Oh, I never [D] thought I'd miss you.
[C] I'm Kenny.
[G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ And [A] you, we've written a great [G] song here.
And [D] the irony of all [C] irony, the woman who's [G] on the video, [D] right, is my first wife, Tamara.
We [A] said love would [G] last forever.
[D] So how [C] did it come [G] to this [D] bitter end?
_ _ _ [Bm] This [A] is what I call the [D] Japanese garden.
[G] This is where I [Bm] normally have my baths.
[A] Everything in here was [D] grown from seed.
[G] Everything.
[F#] And it's funny now, right, [A] _ [F#m] back in the old days in the [G] 80s,
when you used to go, [C#] when you played Holland and [A] tour,
you had guys [F#m] coming up to you going like, there you are,
[G] there's a little bit of stuff for you, [D] you know.
I [A] mean, bit of green, [G] there's a little bit of [D] Moroccan, you know.
[C] Now I [G] get given seeds.
[D] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] _ [C#m] We'd lost touch [C#] completely and out of the blue, [C#m]
she got [C#] in contact with me.
[B] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [B] We were playing in Bradford.
She came along [A] to the gig and we met for the first time [B] since 1984.
[G#m] _
[A] It was really strange.
It was like I hadn't seen her for a week.
[B] Do you remember dancing [A] in stilettos in the snow?
[B] Do you remember [G#m]
you never [A] understood I had to go?
[B] There was nothing about it.
It was just [A] really good old friends talking about [B] bringing kids up
[G#m] and talking about [A] relationships, you know.
And [B] _ then she [A] disappeared for a while and [C#m] then I was told,
[B] she told me [G#m] that she'd been diagnosed with cancer.
And I was like, _ [D] _ [A] Kayleigh, I just want to [D] say I'm sorry,
but [G] Kayleigh isn't scared to [D] pick up the phone
[A] to hear you finding her [D] _ [C] love, to patch [G] up a broken [D] heart.
_ _ [C#m] You know, [C#] we had this kind of [C#m]
contact, [C#] you know, just support.
[Bm] That's really [G#] what we're doing, we're supporting each [C] other through what [F] were difficult times.
She came up to Edinburgh and went out for lunch together when I gave her the album. _
And she said, I've never heard it.
She said, I've never listened to the album.
And she phoned me up the day letting it, she said, I cried all the way back home.
She said, I never realised that that was how you felt at the time.
And she never realised, she said, I never realised you'd put so much into the album.
[D] _
_ [A] Kayleigh, [G] I'm still trying to [D] write that love song.
[C]
Kayleigh, it's [G] more important [D] to me now you're gone.
[C] And the next thing I [G] got a phone call of a friend [D] of hers and said that she'd died of cancer. _
[A] Maybe it would [G] prove that we [D] were right or [C] it was [G] _ [D] wrong.
In the last year, Kay was telling everybody, she [D] said, I'm the girl that's in that song.
And she was really proud of it.
To be able to kind of complete that circle in a way was [Dm] nice.
