Verse 1
(A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) Last night I was goin' to the
closet and on the (G major) rack with my dresses
I found the shirt he'd worn when he held me
in his arms (D major) for the very last time
The shirt I knew that
he'd never (A major) wear again
As I (D major) took it from the rack all my
dreams (G major) came racin' (D major) back
The faint perfume of sweet
love filled the night (A major)
I could see (D major) his face again he
(G major) kissed my lips as then (D major)
And I almost felt his (A major) arms around me (D major) tight
A shirt that even the Gods must envy
For its (G major) arms once encircled the dream
that only heaven can bring
In (D major) side this shirt had beaten the most
wonderful heart in the whole wide world
And forever each thread shall
(A major) remind me of him (B minor)
(D major) I turned down a rolled up sleeve
and I (G major) scaresly could be (D major) lieve
When I looked and saw a
strand of my own (A major) hair
It was (D major) clinging like a vine
to the shirt (G major) he left behind (D major)
As if to let him (A major) know that I still (D major) care
I walked to the window sill
and my (G major) eyes began to fill (D major)
And I thought I heard the soft
wind call his (A major) name
And the (D major) shirt across my arm
grew strangely (G major) soft and (D major) warm
As if I'd reached and (A major) held
it to a (D major) flame
And there I stood hearing only the beat
(G major) of my own aching heart
Lost in the dreams that (D major) might have been
And the shirt seemed as sorrowful as I
(A major) and just as empty body and soul
The Shirt
