Verse 1 

E                     B 
There's really not so much to tell. 

A                                  E       B 
She was 29, showing signs of doing well 

       A 
for herself. 



Verse 2 

E                  B 
She never spoke of feeling sad. 

    A                                                                 
Was, oh, so close with the family and friends 

       E     B                  A 
she had           around her. 



( E )             A        B

She went quietly

with the wish not to be found.

She went quietly 
                 E 
without a word of where.

she wrote the note and chose to float away 

B        A 
into the Ether.

Someone said they saw her south

at the coast on the river's mouth,  

              A 
but only briefly. 





( E )               A             B 
Cause she went quietly.

Verse 5 

E                       B 
Out of the blue, in the pouring rain,  

      A                                E 
to my doorstep, old and cold today she came, 

         A 
with her story. 



Verse 6 

E                   B 
I asked her in, but she declined. 

    A              (B)                   E        B 
Had just one, single thing to get off her mind. 


               A
And, that was, "Sorry."
