The Way I Feel:Gordon Lightfoot. Top of the charts in '67. #1. Dm Am7 Dm The way I feel is like a robin, Am7 Dm Whose babes have flown to come no more, Am7 Dm like a tall oak tree alone and cryin', Am7 Dm When the birds have flown and the nest is bare. #2. Dm Am7 Dm Now a woman Lord, is like a young bird, Am7 Dm And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart. Am7 Dm Among its boughs you'll find her nesting, Dm Am7 Dm When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry. #3. Am7 Dm Your coat of green, it will protect her, Am7 Dm Her wings will grow, your love will too, Am7 Dm But all too soon your mighty branches, Am7 Dm Will cease to hold her. She'll fly from you. #4. Dm Am7 Dm Now the way I feel is like a robin, Am7 Dm Whose babes have flown to come no more. Am7 Dm Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin', Am7 Dm When the birds have flown and the nest is bare. Am7 Dm When the birds have flown and the nest is bare. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
