Am                Dm           Am          Dm 
I thought it was funny when you missed the train 
Am                 Dm                 Am          E 
When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday 
Am                 Dm            Am         Dm 
I thought it was strange when your car was found 
Am              Dm            Am            E 
By the tree in ennis where we used to hang around 
  
    Am       G                    Dm 
Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right       
         Am                G               Dm 
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight 
             C   G    Dm 
It's been a long day coming and long will it last          
           C    G     Dm 
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass   
  C  G  F 
By loving you more 
 
Am                Dm   Am                         Dm 
And who he would become, all the things he'd have done 
Am            Dm            Am           Em 
Would he have loved you and not let you down 
Am               Dm     Am        Dm 
And would he be stronger than his father 
Am     Dm               Am            Em 
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone 
   
  Am      G                    Dm
