Something Very Special Chords by Gordon Lightfoot

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] She was something very special to me, the kind of girl you'd like to see [E] in a movie
[Bm] or a rosary.
She could be straight [Bm] laced or home spun, [E] or pretty easy on [Bm] the run.
She could be meek and [E] mild, no full of fun.
[D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] She liked country lanes and [E] aeroplanes, [B] and cigarettes would make her [E] strange.
And when she wanted you, [B] she made it plain.
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] She would never [E] say where she came from.
[Bm] It didn't seem that she had anyone [E] to answer [Bm] to or dwell upon.
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] She liked candlelight [E] and good wine, [Bm] and I would call her any [E] time
of day or [B] night she didn't mind.
[E] _ _ _ There was nothing that I wouldn't do to [B] prove to her my love was [E] true,
and she gave to me a [B] dream or two.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] There were [C#m] times when she would never appear, [Bm] or for days on end she'd disappear.
[E] But now the [Bm] days have turned to years.
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] I was something she could [D] use, like a good friend or [E] a pair of shoes,
or any [Bm] kind of good [E] news.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Bm] _ Now the eastern [E] sky is crimson and [Bm] red as I lie here in my [E] lonely bed
and think [Bm] about the things she [E] said. _ _
[Bm] She said, darling, there [E] will come a day [B] when I must run far [E] away.
I will call my [Bm] love, but you must stay.
[E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] She departed [E] in the early [Bm] spring.
She didn't leave me [E] anything to follow [Bm] or to find her.
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] She was something very [E] special to me, [Bm] the kind of girl you'd like to [E] see
in a movie [Bm] or a rosary.
