C                               Am                         F   
Of all of Kiri Ito's joys,         the thing she loved the best
       C       ~       Am          D7               F    C
Was to play her prized piano when the sun had gone to rest
                                          Am                  F    C
I used to hear the notes drift down         along the silent water
       ~          Am                   D7                F          C
As Kiri played the notes and scales for her dear sons and daughters

          ~       C          Am                      F    C
Now me, I played piano,         though not as good as Kiri
            ~       Am                     D7               F       C
She went in for that long haired stuff, but my she played it pretty
    ~         C                Am                      F       C
The old piano had a tone,         would set my heart to aching
          ~       Am                     D7          F      
It always sounded sweetest, though, when it was Kiri playing
