    Eb         Bb7     Eb 
Old heart it's finally over 
         G#       Eb 
It ended with the dawn 
G#                                 Eb 
Last night she packed her things to go 
     G# Gm   Fm      Bb  
This morning she was gone. 

        Eb       Bb7     Eb 
It's a shame you had to lose her 
                     G#       Eb  
'Cause you loved and held her dear 
G#                             Eb  
But she can't break you anymore 
              Bb7            Eb 
'Cause she'll never find you here. 

(move to E) 
See the roses all around you 
They'll bloom here every spring 
And you always did love bluebirds 
Oh, just listen to them sing. 

And you know I won't forget you 
I'll come by from time to time 
And on this tiny stone I'll write 
Here lies a friend of mine. 

    A        E            A 
Now all your friends have gathered here 
    E     B              E 
The music soft and low 
A     E         A  
After all she's put you through 
     F#                 B 
I'll bet you're glad to go. 

Why, just last night I felt you break in pieces 
While she had me on my knees 
E             A       E       B       C#m   E  F# 
Now old heart you can finally rest in peace 
        E         A   E       B       E  F# 
Now old heart you can finally rest in peace..
