[Verse 1] 
E                                                                 
Thursday is just another day 
                    A               B
The weatherman said rain and it did Feathers
  E
I took you to a place where flowers had grown
        A                B
If only they’d known you Feathers

[Chorus]
    E
You were the best, I loved you best
    A                             B
And so I say to hell with all the rest, 
               E
I’ll miss you, Feathers

[Verse 2] 
     E
Your friends were few just one or two walked by 
           A          B
to say goodbye to you Feathers
    E                         
The women of the town they let you down
           A               B
not one of them came round Feathers

[Chorus]
    E
You were the best, I loved you best
    A                             B
And so I say to hell with all the rest, 
               E
I’ll miss you, Feathers

[Verse 3] 
E    
Later on that afternoon the sun came out
    A             B
And then the moon Feathers
    E    
And man that once were so afraid
                     A               B
Laid flowers on your steel wet grave Feathers

[Chorus]
     E
You were the best, I loved you best
    A                             B
And so I say to hell with all the rest, 
               E
I’ll miss you, Feathers

[Verse 4] 
    E
And when they all had gone away
                     A             B
I stayed a while and tried to pray Feathers
  E
Instead I wrote this words to you 
                 A             B
The closest to a prayer i knew Feathers

[Chorus]
     E
You were the best, I loved you best
    A                             B
And so I say to hell with all the rest, 
               E        B
I’ll miss you, Feathers
                
I’ll miss you, Feathers
