The Shirt chords by

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