The Way I Feel:Gordon Lightfoot.
Top of the charts in '67.

#1.
Dm        Am7            Dm
The way I feel is like a robin,
                 Am7              Dm
Whose babes have flown to come no more,
                Am7            Dm
like a tall oak tree alone and cryin',
                    Am7                   Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.

#2. 
Dm          Am7             Dm
Now a woman Lord, is like a young bird,
                 Am7                   Dm
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart.
          Am7                    Dm
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting,
Dm                  Am7                  Dm
When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry.

             Am7               Dm
Your coat of green, it will protect her,
               Am7                  Dm
Her wings will grow, your love will too,
            Am7              Dm
But all too soon your mighty branches,
              Am7                       Dm
Will cease to hold her. She'll fly from you.

Whose babes have flown to come no more.

Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin',
                    Am7                   Dm
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.
