Shelly Song Lyrics and Chords by Roy Drusky

 

Shelly
Recorded by Roy Drusky
Written by Jeff Barry
C 
I still think about my Shelly
F 
When I see the roses  
C 
blooming

When I look out through my window

 
And see a  
F 
young 
 
bird
 
On its first flight from its  
C 
nest
 
When I  
G7 
try to count the bees that buzzing
F 
Around the pear tree in my back  
C 
yard
 
I can  
G7 
almost feel her standing there
 
With me  
F 
leaving the things she loves  
C 
best
 
I  
G7 
remember when we used to take a  
F 
walk
 
Down to the spring for a drink of  
C 
water
 
How we'd  
G7 
talk about a name for our  
F 
unborn 
 
child
 
We hope would be a  
C 
daughter
 
We  
G7 
never gave a second thought that  
F 
anything
 
Would ever go  
C 
wrong

But on the day new life was due

F 
God saw fit to take them  
C 
home

I planted roses around a pear tree

F 
That's what Shelly would  
C 
have 
 
wanted

And every day I bring the water

F 
From the spring to keep the roses  
C 
fresh
 
And  
G7 
today I placed a young bird back
F 
Too young to fly that fell down from the  
C 
nest
 
That's what  
G7 
Shelly would have wanted
F 
These are the things she loved  
C 
best

Repeat #3,4

On the day new life was due

F 
God say fit to take them  
C 
home
