Ten Pound Note:Steel River Band.
Hit the Canadian Top Ten Chart in 1970.
#1 on some charts. (In my opinion, one
of the best songs of the '70's, anywhere.)

INTRO: G

#1.
G       Bm    C      D        G
More or less, either way it's true.
G            Bm        C       D       G
It's come to this, and I can't stay by you.
      C
Well, I'd like to say, there was a way
   G
to stay here, right or wrong.
C                    A                D
After today, I'll be away, but you'll still be 

in my song.

CHORUS:
D            G               A
Baby, like a ten pound note, aah,. baby..
       Em              A
like a ten pound note, weighin' heavy..
       C               D
like a ten pound note, ooh, ooh..
       C              Em
you'll still be in my song.

#2.
G       Bm       C        D     G
Go your way, and learn to live alone.
G         Bm       C       D         G
Rise each day, but tell us how we've grown.
C
What can I say, you look like a lady,
G
beaten by the world. 
    C                    A                       D
But layin' in my head, I know what I said, but I got 

to leave you, girl.

CHORUS:
D            G               A
Baby, like a ten pound note, aah,. baby..
       Em              A
like a ten pound note, weighin' heavy..
       C               D
like a ten pound note, ooh, ooh..
       C              Em
you'll still be in my song.

#3.
G     Bm         C         D       G
After all, we'll need some time to breathe.
G             Bm      C         D      G
Rise and fall down, a look will set me free.
      C
Well, once in awhile, I'll pick up and smile..
    G
and cry for what I've done.
    C                       A                     D
But I'll need some time and I'll need my mind, to find 

the risin' sun.

CHORUS:
D            G               A
Baby, like a ten pound note, oh,. baby..
       Em              A
like a ten pound note, weighin' heavy..
       C               D
like a ten pound note, ooh, ooh..
       C              Em
you'll still be in my song.

OUTRO:
G            Bm           C        D     Em
Mmmmm..mmmm..mmmm..you'll still be in my song.
