Viviean song

 [G] When I was young and went to school
 They taught me how to [D] write
 [D]To take the chalk and make a mark
 And hope it turns out [G] right
 [G]Well that's the way it is with love
 And [G7]what you did to [C] me
 I wrote it so you'd [G] know
 That I was [D7] yours eternal-[G] ly.
 
 Chorus
{soc}
 [G] But my tears have washed I love you
 From the Blackboard of my [D7]heart
 [D7]It's too late to clean the slate
 And make another [G]start
 [G]I’m satisfied the way things are
 And [G7]what you did to [C]me
 My tears have washed [G] I love you from
 From the Black[D7]board of my [G] heart.
{eoc}
 
 [G]If you'd been true the way you should
 And not have gone as[D7]tray
 [D7]These tears would not have fallen down
 And washed the words [G]away
 [G]No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk
 Should wr[G7]ite those words ag[C]ain
 It will be for [G]someone else
 No [D7]things that might have [G]been.
 
 Chorus
{soc}
 [G] But my tears have washed I love you
 From the Blackboard of my [D7]heart
 [D7]It's too late to clean the slate
 And make another [G]start
 [G]I’m satisfied the way things are
 And [G7]what you did to [C]me
 My tears have washed [G] I love you from
 From the Black[D7]board of my [G] heart.
