Gordon Lightfoot - The Way I Feel Ukulele

CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] Dm    Am7    Dm    Am7    Dm

[VERSE 1]
          Am7            Dm
The way I feel is like a robin
                 Am7              Dm
Whose babes have flown to come no more
                Am7            Dm
like a tall oak tree alone and crying
                    Am7                   Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare


[VERSE 2]
Dm          Am7             Dm
Now a woman Lord, is like a young bird
                 Am7                   Dm
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
          Am7                    Dm
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting
Dm                  Am7                  Dm
When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry


[VERSE 3]
             Am7               Dm
Your coat of green, it will protect her
               Am7                  Dm
Her wings will grow, your love will too
            Am7              Dm
But all too soon your mighty branches
              Am7                       Dm
Will cease to hold her. She'll fly from you


[VERSE 4]
Dm            Am7            Dm
Now the way I feel is like a robin
                 Am7              Dm
Whose babes have flown to come no more
                Am7            Dm
Like a tall oak tree alone and crying
                    Am7                   Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
                    Am7                   Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
