Chords for MICHAEL MC DERMOTT - Shadow In The Window (#offthecorner)

Hello, I'm Michael McDermott
Here at off the corner and gonna do a song I wrote for my father who passed away just a few [F] months ago _
And so I'm doing this memory of Johnny DeVere's
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So what [F#] you could drive [B] over to his house? _ _
_ [E] Though I knew he wasn't there _ _
_ _ [F#] He was always standing looking out that window
[B] _ _ _ [E] Or sitting in his easy chair
_ _ _ [B] He was always a bit of a [F#] mystery _
Always [E] seemed so far away _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] Even when he was standing next to me
[E] We never had that much to say
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] He would always hear me coming or going
_ _ _ [E] from a million miles away _ _ _ _
[C#m] I'd see [C#] his silhouette in [D#] the window _ _
Every [E] time I pulled out of the [F#] driveway
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ [B] Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing _ _
[C#] There's a shadow in the window that's gone
_ _ I [B] only wanna tell you I love you
_ And I'm doing my best to be strong
and hold on I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Always wondered what he was doing _ _
_ [E] Was he waiting for me to crash?
_ _ [B] Or maybe he just wanted to come with me
[E] But I never thought to ask
_ _ _ _ [B] And I always wondered what he was thinking
_ Watching [E] me every time I drove away _ _ _
[C#m] And I always wondered [B] what he did that for
Maybe he [E] just wanted me [F#] to stay
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B]
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing _
_ [C#] There's a shadow in the window that's gone
_ _ I only [B] wanna tell you I love you
_ _ [C#] And I'm doing my best to be strong
_ _ And [B] maybe I'll see you in heaven
_ At least that's how the story _ goes
Now there's a shadow [G#] in the window that's missing
_ [F#]
And I'm having a hard time letting [B] go _
_ [C#] And maybe [G#m] he felt like a [F#]
prisoner [B] bound by
[C#] _ Invisible [G#m] chains hidden [F#] all _ [B] around
[C#] He took more [G#m] out of life than [F#] it took [B] out of him
He said, son I want you to be
_ _ So [F#] much better than _ _ [G#m] _ [F#] me _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] He told so many stories
_ _ I was never sure which ones were true
_ _ [E] _ _ [B] But he was too big for this small town _
He [E] was an Irishman through and through
_ [B] _
_ And the bagpipes moaned on that cold day
The day we laid him to rest
_ _ _ [C#m] But all I can say now is to drive away
I'm [E] sorry it came [F#] to this _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
_ _ [C#] There's a shadow in the window that's gone
_ _ [B] I only wanna tell you I love you _ _
And I'm [C#] sorry that things went so wrong _
And maybe I'll see you in heaven
At _ least that's how the story goes
_ [F#] Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
_ And I'm having a hard time letting [B] go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Hey I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I [C#] love you _ _
_ _ _ Hey I [B] love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you _
I do
_ Hey I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, [C#] I love you
Hey I love you, _ _ I [B] _
love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you
I do
_ Hey I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I [B] love you
_ _ _ _ [E] _
Hey I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
