David Gray introduces this song with some comments about playing in Manchester 
and how he wrote this as a tribute to his great friend and musician Bryan Glancy. 
Bryan had died early 2006. 
He says he had played this a few times but this was the first in front of an audience.

Intro
******
G F G
-------------------------------------------
Verse 1
********
F                          G
If there's a diamond in my mind
F                       G
Will it dwindle down to naught
F                    G
Or will it always be defined
F                        G
If I cant fix it with my heart

-------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
Cm          F           G
So I'm returning to the place
Cm           F              G
That I might look into your eyes
Cm          F               G
And look so hard that I can taste
Em                         G
That winter sun that never sets
Em                           G
The sparrow caught up in the nets
Em                         G
The perfect chorus when it hits
F                                  G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

-------------------------------------------
Verse 2
********
F                            G
Was heading northward when I saw
F                           G
That empty house out in the midst
F                          G
There are traces there for sure
F                       G
On every mouth you ever kissed

-------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
Cm          F           G
So I'm returning to the word
Cm            F           G
Find my place between the lines
Cm            F         G
Where I might dutifully recall
Em                           G
The blue within your seagull stare
Em                        G
The funny ways you had to care
Em                            G
For every little thing beyond compare
F                                  G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave


-------------------------------------------
F                       G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa
F                       G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa

F                       G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa
F                       Cm
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa

-------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
Em                    G
now I call out in the gulf
Em                         G
When you went walking with wolf
Em                                G
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself
F                                  Cm
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

Em                        G
The strangest for we ever faced
Em                         G
The stark in every staging grace
Em                        G
Is crushing diamonds into paste
F                                  G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
F                                  G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
F                                  G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave


A nice easy tune............
