Broken Piano Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]As I walked out one morning fair,
I found myself drawn thoughtlessly
Back to the place we used to live,
And you still do, now without me.

[Verse 2]
Around the back, away from the [C]road,
Behind the bins, beneath your window,
I found the hulk, the rusting bulk
Of a shattered old piano.
Someone had torn out some of the keys
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,
In such a way that one could only play
Minor melodies.

[Verse 3]
So I sat [C]down in my sad[Em]ness,
[C]beneath [G]your [Dsus4]window,
[C]And I played sad songs on the minor
[Em]keys of a [C]broken [G]pia[Dsus4]no;
[Am]A si[C]nner amongst saved men
on the banks of the muddy [G]Thames.

[Verse 4]
As I have [G]wandered through this [C]city,
[G]Like a [C]child [G]lost in the London [C]fog,
[G]From Highgate Hill, down to the [C]river[G],
[C]Then washed dow[G]nstream
past the [C]Isle of Dogs,
[G]I've [C]had time

[Verse 5]
enough to think upon
[G]The ques[C]tion of what kind [G]of songs
[C]That you would choose to [G]listen to[C]
Now that I am gone.
[G]And as [C]I drift beneath tha[G]t bridge,
Just down the [C]road from where you [G]live,
[C]
[G]I've often thought [C]I might have caught
Your voice upon the wind.
But as I stroked [G]those [C]broken

[Verse 6]

[Outro 1]
You did not join in harmony.
