Former Lee Warmer


When I hear him play in his twised key
That's the way he calls to me
On a silver tray, I keep the master key
                                 G5
In every way, he depends on me 

C5                G5

Candle lit puddles, arthritic fingers, yellow stained ivory keys

In an upstairs room under lock and key
It's my brother, Former Lee
And after all these years, I've never heard him speak
                                G5
I wonder what he thinks of me 

Eb5          D5  C5   F#5
Former Lee Warmer peeks out the window
F5                     Eb5
When he feels really brave

Out in the family grave 

C5                         /G5 Ab5
He's flesh and blood to me
C5                   /G5 Ab5
I love him brotherly
C5                   Bb5  Eb5
But, I don't want to be Former Lee
