So, I spent a little time trying to figure out the chords for this cute little tune, and I think I’ve come pretty close! I’m adding the chords and lyrics below so that everyone can sing and have a merry time with this song too!! :’D
Langtree’s Lament
Cm F Bb G7
C7 F Bb
A#7 Eb C… F
"A" is for the apple that he gave to me,
But I found a worm inside,
"B" is for beloved that I call to him,
before he left my side
And “C”,
see what he did that’s “D”,
Did it to poor ol’ me,
How could I be such an “E”motional fool, “F”
"G" is for the gentlemen I thought he was,
When he first said hi,
"H" "I",
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy Bee, the man who made me cry,
That’s a C
And “K”,
Well you know it’s just not okay,
To kiss and then run away,
Leaving alone without leaving a letter for “L”angtree
"M" is for the misery he left me in,
"N"ever to return again,
"O" what a poor "P" fool I’ve been, "Q"ueuing in line for him
And “R”,
Are you the one for me,
Yes, “S”ay you’ll come back to me,
Why are you tempted to “T”ease me, ohh..
"U", why not you, have got to understand,
The value of a woman’s heart,
"V",
Why, “W” not “Y”, did you think it was fine to “X” me from the start
And “Y”, yes “Y”,
Is the question that’s on my mind,
Oh why,
Why did you leave me right before reaching our “Z”enith
1 is the number of men I’ve loved,
And 2 is the times I’ll say it’s you, it’s you!
3 is the number of days you’ve been gone,
But it feels like four times two
8, at the hour the sun goes down,
I remember life with you around,
I wish I had nine lives like that one
