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.

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

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

Now old heart you can finally rest in peace..
