VERSE 1

G           Gmaj7           Cadd9          G

Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath

Cadd9                       G

Keep me in your heart for a while

G           Gmaj7           Cadd9          G

If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less

Cadd9                       G

Keep me in your heart for a while


VERSE 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/z/zevon_warren/keep_me_in_your_heart_crd.html ]
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There’s a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for a while


CHORUS (same chords as verse)

Sha-la  la-la-la  la-la-li  li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la  la-la-la  la-la-li  li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while


INTERLUDE (guitar & tres instrumental)


VERSE 3

Sometimes when you’re doing simple things around the house
Maybe you’ll think of me and smile
You know I’m tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while


BRIDGE

Cadd9                     G/B

Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams

A7sus4                    G

Touch me as I fall into view

Cadd9                     G/B

When the winter comes keep the fires lit

A7sus4                      D7

And I will be right next to you


VERSE 4

Engine driver’s headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turning but they’re running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while


CHORUS

Sha-la  la-la-la  la-la-li  li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha-la  la-la-la  la-la-li  li-lo
Keep me in your heart for a while


Cadd9                       G

Keep me in your heart for a while
