Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(verse)

I thought it was funny when you missed the train

When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday

I thought it was strange when your car was found

By the tree in ennis where we used to hang around

(chorus)

 Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right

 Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight

 It's been a long day coming and long will it last

 When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass

 By loving you more

(verse)

And who he would become, all the things he'd have done

Would he have loved you and not let you down

And would he be stronger than his father

Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone

(chorus)

 Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right

 Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight

 It's been a long day coming and long will it last

 When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass

 By loving you more, oh

(instrumental)

 It's been a long day coming and long will it last

 When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass

 By loving, loving you more
