[Verse 1]
   F      Bb        Am       F
My ginger voice was raw with smoke
     F         Bb            C/G 
They hid their smiles when I 
      C/G
stood and spoke
     F     Bb        Am       F
Some sunny lawn, some Saturday
  F        Bb             C/G     
A face was flushed when I went to 
C/G
sing


[Pre-Chorus]
Bb            F
Wild Mountain Thyme
    Bb    F        Bb       F    
But I was crying before the 
  C/G

[Verse 2]
    F    Bb    Am        F

   F     Bb             C/G     C/G
My ruddy cheeks got 'em giggling
   F        Bb      Am       F
My eyes are red and wild and wide
   F           Bb    C/G    C/G
As I choked up over another line


[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb        F        Bb  F
For years and years, I disappeared
  Bb        F            Bb       
Tonight I'm here and I'm giving my 
 F
best
     Bb    F         Bb        F
It's all I have, the grandkids laugh
   Bb    F       Bb     F
My linen vest is yellow-stained
       Bb        F           Bb  
And my teeth are chipped, my 
     F
beard is gray
     Bb     F           
Your mother left, she's not 
Bb    F
impressed
    Bb      F          Bb        
The wedding guests are starting 
      F
to get restless
      Bb           F           
And I think I have worn out my 
C/G
welcome


[Chorus]
      F       Bb         Am    F
But I swear I caught you smile
         F      Bb    C/G
From the corner of my eye
          F        Bb      Am    F
When they threw me off the stage
      Bb     F       Bb F
Oh, I know I saw you smiling
  Bb      F       Bb F
I swear I saw you smiling


[Chorus 2]
     F       Bb  Am  F
They carried me away
            F      Bb     C/G
Through the center of the crowd
         F      Bb    Am  F
From the corner of my eye
  Bb      F       Bb F
I swear I saw you smiling
       Bb     F     C/G   
You'll always be my darling, 
              F F
sweetheart
