    Corin the Piper

    A Song Lyric
    by Sheila King

    C Em7 Am Dm Dmaj7 G
    * Corin the Piper lives here no more
    Em Am D G
    He and his mother left when he was four
    C Em7 Am Dm G
    Some day there'll be music, same as before
    Em Am
    But it won't be easy for Corin
    C G7 C
    lives here no more

    C Em7 Am Dm G
    1. I sit here at the window, watchin' the children play
    Em Am D G
    They don't know I'm even here, but they come here every day.
    C Em7 Am Dm G
    Sometimes the tears start fallin', and I wonder what they're for
    Em Am C G7 C
    Until I remember, Corin lives here no more

    2. He filled my days with laughter, sunshine and song,
    And Corin, the drummer, was seldom ever wrong.
    Sometimes I hear him singing, and my heart starts to soar.
    And then I remember, Corin lives here no more.

    3. In the evenings I would watch him, walk up the path alone.
    His head bowed and weary from a day gone on too long.
    And I know that he is sleeping; till I see him once more
    But I can't forget that Corin, lives here no more.
