[Verse]
(tacet)
Many years have passed, it seems
(tacet)
And I am all alone
(tacet)
I've sent the children far away
(tacet)
To some obscure unknown
(tacet)
It's so sad, so sad
 
 
[Chorus]
G             C
Close another door
G            C      D
Listen to my eyes
G             C
Close another door
G                      C
You're much too old to work
             D              D
So won't you run away?   (break)
 
 
[Verse]
G
When I was young, I used to say
     C                D
That age won't bother me
    G
The life I had was very sad
   C               D
It all went out to sea
     Am      D          D
It's so sad, so sad   (break)
 
 
[Chorus]
G             C
Close another door
G            C      D
Listen to my eyes
G             C
Close another door
G                      C
You're much too old to work
             D(sus4)        D
So won't you run away?   (break)
 
 
[Verse]
G
Though the sun is in outside
    C             D
The rain is in my hair
    G
Now all my life is lived inside
   C             D
My home is in my chair
     Am      D          D
It's so sad, so sad   (break)
 
 
[Chorus]
G             C
Close another door
G            C      D
Listen to my eyes
G             C
Close another door
G                      C
You're much too old to work
             D              D
So won't you run away?   (break)
 
 
[Outro]
G      G7
Let me go
        C                  F7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
  G              D
I may be old but I've been told
   C               D
At least I'm still alive
G      G7
Fly me up
       C      F7
Fly me up and send me home
          G                   D
I've been working so, so very hard and
      C                 D
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
