If I Had Done Something Else

A                    G#                   G           

The Hibiscus Whispers to the Cherry Tree

A                  G#                    G

The Cherry tree Whispers to the wind

D#Maj7            DMaj7             C#Maj7 

The sun was golden as the evening falls

Em7                                                    A7

The wood fire smoke stings my nostrils as I sing

 

        G                          A           D            

And if I had done something else

  G                A              D          

If I had gone another way

G             A         D                         

If I’d been able to turn back the clock

G                                                     

There are things that I would change

A                                

and others I would not

 

The memory of Michael hangs heavy inside

And how I shouted at him

His skin was itchy and his body was small

We were horrid to him did he grow up tall ?

 

The milk man got up early

And stole my girl friend from me

or if I were to be more honest

If I’d been different would she have stayed ?

 

I was once painfully married

But thankfully she went away

She left me holding the baby

He’s a fine young man today

 

You know that I often tremble

About words and phrases that were said

They send shivers down my spine

And weigh the same as lead
