Irene Your Baby Was Here

Rob Gardner


Tom: G

    G                D      Em   Bm   C
The wind through the cyprus made them sway
    Am         G                C      D
And rolled the clouds back that winter day
    Em                Bm             C    G
The sun shone through long enough to say
      Am       G         D      G       G
"Your baby was here, but cannot stay."


[Bridge]
    G                Bm                C   D
For there are more important things to do
    G              Bm                C    D
And she must add a gleam to heaven’s hue
        G            Bm          C       D
To help brighten the pathway for one and all
    Em          Bm        C         D
For through the darkness, great men fall!
     Em     Bm         C            D
This little spirit, so pleasant and fair
  Em            Bm       C            D
Returned to the ones who were waiting there
    G               Bm             C    G
And when I walk out in the night divine
       Am                    G        D
I know one of the stars that shine is mine!


[Verse 2]
(strum as it comes)
D   G           D          Em Bm C
She came to the earth just for a while
    Am      G      C       D
Not long enough to see her smile
(regular)
    Em          Bm      C        G
For this little baby we loved so much
    Am       G              D        G
Was just too precious for a mother’s touch

[Outro]
