I take a walk I mow the grass
           D7
I don't worry 'bout
      Gm
the years that pass
                 C               B7
My wife is dead I live alone
          Am    G          C
in my little country home
                G       B7
I have my memories
       Em          A
and dogs for friends

I water the ferns I plant some seeds
	D7		Gm
I make sure to pull out all the weeds
	C	B7
And to help myself along
	Am	G	C
I like to whistle this funny little song
	     G      B7            Em      A
I sang in my army days when I was young

	C#m	    G#
A hot air balloon I will float away
    C#M7	                 F#m		
At times I'm holding you

	            C
My kids and grandkids come
	         D7
to stay with me once a year
	G		     Cm
And on New Years I drive down to be with them
	   Ebm   G#	C#
Though I'm happy often I feel lonely
	Gdim		F#dim
But when I sleep I hear my wife speak

B	E		  Adim	  G#
Don't feel alone because you're not really alone
	  B		    Em
Sweetheart no don't think you're alone

I feed the cat I sweep the floor
   D7	            Gm
I don't fear dying anymore
              C                       B7
I like to fish with Ed and Will
          Am               G             C
in the pond by the old paper mill
        G                 B7                          Em               A
I am resigned to fish (finish) out my days in this way
