Capo 1

Intro: G 


My dad was at the piano 

The night he met my mom 
    D 
She asked him to play, "I'll See You Again" 
     C               G 
That old Noël Coward song 



She told him he was conceited 

He slung one back at her 
          D 
He didn't mind that her singing wasn't good 
        C                     G 
When he got a good look at her 


    C                          G 
She learned that song when she was a kid 
         C                D 
Lost her dad when she was young 
C                    Em 
Never got to say goodbye 
      C                     D 
Maybe that's why it was her song 

She sing.. 


Chorus: 
G 
I'll see you again 
         Dsus4  C      D 
Whenever spring breaks through again 
C                   D 
Though the years my tears may dry 
C                 D 
I shall love you 'til I die 
    C      G 
Goodbye 



I'm out in California 

I'm driving my dad and me 
     D 
He's crying, he says "Thought I'd be the first to go" 
 C                        G 
"How could this happen to me?" 



He says, "She told me never to bring her here" 

As we drive up to that home 
D 
People go to die 
    C                   G 
But she keeps hanging on 


   C                     G 
My dad looks down at the floor 
      C               D 
As he holds on to her hand 
    C                         Em 
She says to me, "How could he leave me here?" 
       C                     D 
No, he never went there again 


Chorus: 
G 
I'll see you again 
         Dsus4  C      D 
Whenever spring breaks through again 
C                   D 
Though the years my tears may dry 
C                 D 
I shall love you 'til I die 
    C      G 
Goodbye 


Instrumental: C  G  C  G  C  Em G 



One year later in my brother's house 

My dad's in his dying bed 
   D 
As if she's already dead and gone 
      C                 G 
Not a word about her is said 



Later that day I visit her 

My brother comes along 
    D 
She thinks she's home with my dad 
        C                G 
Can't remember he's ever gone 


   C                G 
My brother picks up his guitar 
          C                 D 
He sang, "I'll See You Again" 
   C             Em 
My mom remembers all the words 
C                 D 
Right down to the end 


Chorus: 
G 
I'll see you again 
         Dsus4  C      D 
Whenever spring breaks through again 
C                   D 
Though the years my tears may dry 
C                 D 
I shall love you 'til I die 
    C  
Goodbye 
    G 
Goodbye 



Four years later I hold her hand 

She's asleep, she'll soon be gone 
        D 
I don't know if she can hear me 
      C                 Em 
But I sing for her that song 
      C               G 
And I tell her my goodbyes 
     C               G 
I'll love you 'til I die
