BSo I'm the first one Emaj9in again
with the C#m9quiet and the window growing Bsnow.
BWhen I hear the furnace Emaj9rouse itself
From its C#m9slumber, somehow suddenly I kBnow
Abaug5 Bb5 B2 Emaj9(2) E6 E *walk down
As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan
That I'm Bbaug5just your little Bampersand
BWhen your voice springs from the Emaj9intercom
with aC#m9nnouncements and reminders and a Bprayer
BI remember how you Emaj9made me feel
I was C#m9funny, I was thoughtful, I was Brare
But like the Abaug5jokes about my figBb5ure
B2 Emaj9(2) E6 E
kids think I don't understand
I know I'm Bbaug5just your little aBmpersand.
BAfter Christmas Emaj9holidays
you C#m9never asked to drive me home agBain
BSometimes in the Emaj9staff room I'd
C#m9catch your eye with "why'd it havBe to end"
Abaug5 Bb5 B2 Emaj9(2) E6 E
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band
That I'm Bbaug5just your little Bampersand
