VERSE 1
G Gmaj7 Cadd9 G
Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath
Cadd9 G
Keep me in your heart for a while
G Gmaj7 Cadd9 G
If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Cadd9 G
Keep me in your heart for a while
VERSE 2
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There’s a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for a while
CHORUS (same chords as verse)
Sha-la la-la-la la-la-li li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la la-la-la la-la-li li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
INTERLUDE (guitar & tres instrumental)
VERSE 3
Sometimes when you’re doing simple things around the house
Maybe you’ll think of me and smile
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
BRIDGE
Cadd9 G/B
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
A7sus4 G
Touch me as I fall into view
Cadd9 G/B
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
A7sus4 D7
And I will be right next to you
VERSE 4
Engine driver’s headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turning but they’re running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
CHORUS
Sha-la la-la-la la-la-li li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la la-la-la la-la-li li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Cadd9 G
Keep me in your heart for a while
Rest in peace, Warren and thank you for such a beautiful song.
You will be deeply missed.
