Anthony John Clarke - Danni and mr adams 1967

E^Gveryone loved Danni^B7 Her ^Emsmile was just im^Ampossible ^D7She could light the ^Groom up Without even being ^D/F#there And ^Geveryone knew Danni^B7 Her ^Emmother said she was a ^Ammasterpiece ^DSmiling brown ^Geyes Of course, a ^D/F#curl in her ^Ghair

She ^B7laughed as she joked She ^Emsmiled when she ^Amspoke She ^A7made you feel that you were The ^Donly boy in the ^D7world And ^Gshe was my ^B7best friend In ^Emclass, she sat in ^Amfront of me I ^Dlet her have all my ^Ganswers free 'Cause ^D7Danni was my ^Ggirl

A schoolboy, just ^B7ten years old When ^EmI wrote my first ^Amsong for her I ^D7still see the green old ^Gcopybook I wrote these words down ^D/F#on They ^Gsaid that I would ^B7marry her We'd ^Emboth go and live in ^AmOttawa There was a ^Dpicture you see of ^GCanada Be^D/F#side me on the ^Gwall

She ^B7said sometime she would ^Emmarry me That ^A7really made me ^D7glad ^B7Other days she wouldn't ^Emspeak to me Those ^A7days were really ^Dbad ^D7

Mr Adams, well, he was ^B7watching me As ^EmI wrote these words ^Amdown "^DDanni darling, I just ^Glove you I will never let you ^D/F#down" He ^Gpicked up my old green ^B7copybook He ^Emdid not laugh or sneer or ^Amshout He ^Dread it once or twice and ^Ggave it back Never read my song words ^Dout

And you ^Gknow, I still re^B7member him I forg^Emot Danni long a^Amgo Though I ^D7did hear she moved to ^GCanada Where ^Dshe enjoys the ice and ^Gsnow
