-INTRO

D       C(9)      G5        C(9)        D(group)

             D(group)
Let's not forget last night,
              C(9)
(Yeah) how we drove along the Yarra,
       G5                C(9)          D(group)
How we sang harmonies to Carole King.
      D
These three years now just gone,
             C(9)
They are the legends of my mind,
        G5                       C(9)                  Dsus  D
We both kneel at these rocks and drink of the memories


D(9)  D     G5
You are the tunes in my head,
    C(9)            Dsus D
The fire in my ribs,                                           .
D(9) D      G5                     C(9)              
  G5     G5
You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion

Happy Bithday Helen.

D       C(9)    G5      C(9)       D(group)

D
We kissed on that bridge that fell down
         C(9)
While we held hands at the Taj,
           G5                        C(9)                    D(group)
We've been stuck in a cave with that bloke who says 'Oi Am',
           D
And when I cried for my cruel heart,
              C(9)
You rubbed my back 'til I felt better,
       G5                    C(9)                     Dsus  D
We ate bread on the lake and yearned for the seasons.


D(9) D      G5
You are the tunes in my head,
    C(9)             Dsus  D
The fire in my ribs,                                       .
D(9) D      G5                     C(9)              
G5   G5
You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion

Happy Bithday Helen.

You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion

You are the storm on the ocean,
    G5
The poems in the trees,
    C(9)                     G5
The smell of the winter that haunts me each Autumn

My everything
