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                                 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

Dearest Eleanor
