The Things I Should Have Said Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Lindisfarne
CAPO: 3rd Fret



[Intro]
D  C  (6x)

[Verse 1]
D              Am              G            C
Two by two the lovers wandered off into the night
        D             C              G            A
Leaving me alone with someone that I only knew by sight
      Bm                   G                 Bm         A
So we sat and watched each other through the fading firelight
         Bm              C             Bm7
Each one waiting for the silence to be broken


[Chorus]
        D                    Em
But the things I should have said
          F#m              C   
That were whispering in my head
G            D     C  D  C
Would not be spoken___


[Verse 2]
    D                   Am                G             C
The black gowned master glared at me with malice in his eye
    D                C                G              A
The spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie
      Bm              G            Bm          A
I was dumb before his accusations, I did not deny
          Bm              C                    Bm7
When he'd done with me, I stood outside there, shattered


[Chorus]
        D                    Em
And the things I should have said
          F#m           C   
That came rushing to my head
G         D     C  D  C
No longer matter_____


[Instrumental]
D  C  (8x)


[Verse 3]
D                   Am                     G                C
Teachers from whose hallowed mouths, great pearls of wisdom fall
   D                  C          G             A
To those who scrawl obscenities upon the alley walls
    Bm             G               Bm              A
The joke is on the bloke who never spoke a word at all
          Bm             C                      Bm7
But whose dreams lay unrevealed, 'til they were rotten


[Chorus]
        D                    Em
And the things I should have said
           F#m           C   
That I was keeping in my head
G            D     C  D  C  D  C
Have been forgotten__


[Outro]     (## repeat and fade ##)
                             D   C  D  C  D  C
All the things I should have said
