CAPO on 4th FRET
G5 C5
So I'm the first one in again,
Am? G5
with the quiet and the window growing snow.
G5 C5 Am?
When I hear the furnace rouse itself from its slumber,
G5
somehow suddenly I know,
E5 G5 C5
as my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan,
D5 G5
that I'm just your little "&."
G5 C5
When your voice springs from the intercom
Am? G5
with announcements and reminders and a prayer,
G5 C5
I remember how you made me feel
Am? G5
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare.
E5 G5 C5
But like the jokes about my figure kids think I don't understand,
D5 G5
I know I'm just your little "&."
G5 C5
After Christmas holidays
Am? G5
you never asked to drive me home again.
G5 C5
And sometimes in the staff room I
Am? G5
catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?"
E5 G5 C5
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band
D5 G5
that I'm just your little "&."
For this bit you the piano goes something along the lines of (relative to capo);
just fool around with it:
e | ----3-2-----3-2------------- |
B | -------3--------3~~~0-3-0~~~ |
G | 0~~~------------------------ |
G5 C5 Am? G5 G5 C5 Am? G5
E5 G5 C5
At the last conjunction, after every other "and,"
D5 G5
I was just your little "&."
