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
