wooden bag chords and lyrics - RICHARD DAWSON

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]A knapsack made of oak
Purchased for thirty francs
From [D]a market in
Geneva in 1968
[G]Carved from a single piece of wood
A level of workmanship one
[D]rarely comes across today
Many rainstorms have not dulled the
lustre of the wood
The lid of the satchel is [Abdim]made up o[D]f slat[G]s
[D]Af fixed to a piece [G]of sky [D]-coloured fat
[G]It closes with a click
And fastens with a clasp
The [D]shape of a bumblebee
[G]The shoulder strap is equally quaint
A daisy -train of leaf [D]flaying at the zenith
of its arc
At the centre of each
flower there lies [G]a[D][G]
[A]I c[D]an't thro[G]w this bag [A]away[D] I[Bm]
[D]can[G] 't[A] th[D]row this bag away[G]
A bar of
Highland toffee, its wrapper still intact
With [D]an expiration date of
JAN86
[G]A strip of contraceptive pills, a box of
Honitin
Extra
[D]Half a dozen of those tiny
Lardbrooks pens
Shares collected from the shore of
Newton by the sea
The smell of [A]the ocean [D]in
a used handker[G]chief
[D]A lattice of hairpins c[G]ombi[D]ng the beach
[G]A cloth -bound diary filled
with cartography
coun[D]tries that you saw whilst
you were [G]asleep
receding into leaves
[D]I can see a bridge of moonlight flowing
Lord, through the page
How I miss you
I can feel it in my molecules
[Gm]Oh, [G]oh, [A]oh[D]
[Bm]I ca[Gm]n't th[G]row this bag[A] awa[Bm]y
[F#]Oh, [F#m]oh, oh[G][A]
[D]I can't throw this bag
[G]away[D]
[G][D]
[D]
I'm going
