Chords for Roger Whittaker joins Val Doonican

Roger, we saw a wonderful film of you that you did in Kenya.
It was on television here some weeks ago.
That's right.
It was lovely.
And being from Kenya, it must have been quite a nostalgic trip, was it?
It was.
We were there for about six weeks, and that was the first time in many years.
Yeah.
We ended up with 17 hours of film.
17?
What?
We could_ 17 hours?
We could have done Ben-Hur twice.
Three or four times.
Yes. Wonderful.
But it was a great experience, and the film was beautiful. _
Good, good.
Well, I certainly enjoyed it very much.
As a matter of fact, I found a lovely song in it that I've done [F] since then.
Very, [G] very enjoyable.
Now, you know, when you go around the world, having had so many hit records,
do you find people ask you to sing the same songs over and over again?
They think you're going to get tired of singing them.
I call them _ _ the_
Oh, yes.
When you say the title, they say,
Old So-and-So sang that song.
So I call them Old So-and-So songs.
So you're Old So-and-So.
I'm the Old So-and-So.
Is he?
I've been waiting to see.
So, listen, would you start us off and we sing some So-and-So [Eb] songs?
All right, fine.
You sit down.
I'll go ahead.
You get your guitar, Roger, and start us [C] off.
That's it.
Lovely.
Get yourself comfortable now.
There's no hurry.
So, right.
That's the [D] key, isn't it? _ _ _
You're in tune, lad.
Nearly. _ _
All right.
OK.
See if you know this one. _ _
I've [G] got to leave old Durham [A]
town.
_ _ [G] I've got to leave [A]
old Durham [D] town.
_ _ [Bm] I've got to leave old Durham _ [G] town.
And [D] that leaving's going to get [A] me _ [D] done.
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ Back [A] in _ [G] _ 1944, [A] _ _ [Bm] I [Gb] remember daddy [Bm] walking out the [Gb] door. _
_ [D] Mama [A] told me he [G] was going [A] to war.
He [Bm] was leaving.
I, _
[Gb] leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me.
_ [D] _ _ [A] I've got to leave [G] old [A] Durham town.
_ [D] I've [G] got to [A] leave old Durham [D] town. _
I've [Gb] got to leave [Bm] old [G] Durham town.
[D] And that leaving's [G] going to get [A] me _ [D] done.
_ Whoa, whoa, we're moving.

_ _ _ [Am] You take a great outlet, [C] don't you?
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Oh. _
_ Another [Am] one. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Now [G]
everybody talks about [Am] a new world [C] in the morning.
_ _ [F] New world in the morning.
So [C] they say.
_ [G] _
Great.
_ [C] I myself [G] don't talk about [Am] a new world in [C] the morning.
_ [F] A new world in the morning.
That's [Am] today. _ _ _ _
And [G] I [F] can feel a new [G]
tomorrow _ [C] coming up.
_ [E] _
_ And [Am] I don't have [G] _
[F] to make [C] a song.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ Everybody _ [G]
talks about [Am] a new world [C] in the morning.
_ _ [F] A new world in the morning takes [Am] too long. _
La, la, la, la, [F] la, _ _ _ la, [G] la, la, [F] la.

[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] There's a ship lies [Bb] rigged and ready [Eb] in the harbor. _ _ _
Tomorrow we're rolling in, [Ab] she said.
_ _ Far away from your land of endless sunshine.
_ _ To my land with its rainy [Bb] skies and _ _ gales.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The tears that [Ab] miss farewell.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] For you [Eb] are [Gm] _ [Cm] beautiful. _
[Fm] And I have [Bb] loved you dearly.
[Ab] More dearly than [Bb] the spoken [Eb] word can [Cm] tell. _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] For you [Eb] are _ [Gm] _ [Cm] beautiful.
[Ab] And I have [Bb] loved you dearly.
[Fm] More dearly than the [Bb] spoken _ word [Eb] can tell. _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
That was beautiful.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ That's a wonderful idea.
Really.
_ _ Very good. _ _
_ _ _ _ You're great. _
