Tom: C
C
I put your record on
Dm
I sing the song you wrote
Am
And you're a world away
G
But I feel closer to home
C
I know I left behind
Dm
Things I've loved before
Am
But I give you my heart
G
Dearest Eleanor
C Am
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
G
After I played you the first song I wrote
C
You said you thought it had potential
C Am
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?
G
We wouldn't speak over the stereo
C
Because we knew we didn't have to
C Dm Am G
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
C Dm Am G
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
C
I put your record on
Dm
I sing the song you wrote
Am
And you're a world away
G
But I feel closer to home
C
I know I left behind
Dm
Things I've loved before
Am
But I give you my heart
G
Dearest Eleanor
C
C Am
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
G
Who didn't understand our politics?
C
We didn't care, we were self-righteous
C Am
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
G
We had a catalog of songs to sing
C
That would help us to forget
C Dm Am G
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
C Dm Am G
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
C
I put your record on
Dm
I sing the song you wrote
Am
And you're a world away
G
But I feel closer to home
C
I know I left behind
Dm
Things I've loved before
Am
But I give you my heart
G
Dearest Eleanor
