The book I bought yesterday
            D
I started to read
                C     G
I found a small marigold
                D
Pressed between leaves
                  C     G
And in that small marigold
                D
Well, I found a note
                          C         G
Saying, "Please won't you write to me
               D
'Cause I'm so alone"
CHORUS:
        C        G            D
So, I'm going to write back today
         C        G            D        C G D
Yes, I'm going to write right away____
                 C     G
I started, 'Dear Marigold'
                D
Not knowing her name
              C          G
I just had to write to you
                  D
'Cause I feel the same
                    C     G
You sound like that marigold
               D
That I found today
               C              G
The beauty was there to be found
            D
But fading away
CHORUS:
        C          G     D
So, I'm writing to you today
         C          G          D        C G D
Yes, I'm writing to you right away____
             C    G
As I started writing
                 D
Well, what can I say?
         C     G
I got to thinking
                D
Where are you today?
              C   G
Brown leather cover
                     D
Ripped, tattered and torn
                 C            G
It's been such a long, long time
                     D
Since the flower was born
CHORUS:
        C          G            D
There's no need to write back today
    C            G            D        C G D   C G  Am
I'm not going to write right away____
                        G
Just like a swan she is gliding
F             E         Am
Drifting from here unto there
                       G
She has no thoughts of dying
F           E           Am
Winter does not mean despair
                          G
Warm summer nights left behind her
F           E                 Am
Thinking of things that she's done
                           G
Once were her friends all around her
    F       E       Am
But now she is only one
BRIDGE:
A                    F#m
Swan, swan keep your feet off the ground
     Bm                  E7
Keep flying around, it's lonely you've found
A        F#m
You were left on your own
    Bm                      E7
You didn't do right, not to take off and fly
          F                 Am
When your friends left that night
INSTRUMENTAL: Am  G  F  E  Am  G  F E Am
BRIDGE:
A                    F#m
Swan, swan keep your feet off the ground
     Bm                  E7
Keep flying around, it's lonely you've found
A        F#m
You were left on your own
    Bm                      E7
You didn't do right, not to take off and fly
          F                 Am
When your friends left that night
                          G
Someday I know you'll see something
          F              E           Am
That will bring back the memories of gold
                                 G
You'll meet the friends that did leave you
   F          E           Am
No more to be left in the cold
                                G
And just like a swan, you'll be gliding
F             E         Am
Drifting from here unto there
                           G
You'll have no thoughts of dying
       F          E           Am
'Cause winter did not mean despair
