Diary    (intro)    (midi)    (sample)

 

    G                                        G7          

1.     I found her diary underneath the tree,

C                                      G

    and started reading about me.

                                                        G7         

    The words she’d written took me by surprise,

C                                                 G

    you’d never read them in her eyes.

Cm                        G                         D7             B7      Em  - G7

    They said that she had found the love she’d waited for.

C                           G        - C                           G

    Wouldn’t you know it?        She wouldn’t show it.

 

   G                                                   G7           

2.   Then she, confronted with the writing there,

C                                         G

    simply pretended not to care.

                                           G7         

    I passed it off as just in keeping with

C                                      G

    her total disconcerting air.

Cm                          G                      D7          B7       Em - G7 -C

    And though she tried to hide the love that she deni………...ed.

                              G        - C                         G

    Wouldn’t you know it?       She wouldn’t show it.

 

D7 B7    Em       G7           C

    And as I go through my life

  Am7    D        D7          G

    I will give to her, my wife,

                    C                       B7

    All the sweet things I can find.

3.    I found her diary underneath the tree 

C                                      G

    and started reading about me.

                                                       G7           

    The words began to stick, then tears to flow,

C                                                    G

    her meaning now was clear to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cm                         G                    D7           B7         Em - G7  

    The love she’d waited for was someone else, not m…....e.

C                           G        - C                            G

    Wouldn’t you know it?         She wouldn’t show it.

 

D   B7    Em       G7            C

    And as I go through my life,

   Am     D          D7         G

    I will wish for her, his wife,

                    C                           G

    all the sweet things she can find,

                    C                D          G

    all the sweet things they can find.
