Tom: Am
G
[Verse 1]
G
There was an emptiness within my life
C G
Along about the time he came along
And so, I guess that you could say that
C G
When he came along, he came on pretty strong
D
Cause back then suddenly it seemed to me
C G
That emptiness within me had been filled
C D
And when I wondered what the reasons were,
C D G
I had to answer at least partly Bill
Am G F G
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill
[Verse 2]
G
I can remember hearing music with
C G
The pretty words of love he had to say
G
And I recall the times of laughter
C G
After love it comes the thirst has passed away
D
He was the only real fulfillment
C G
That the world has shown me yet and even still
C D
I know that I'm a different person
C D G
And the part of me is surely partly Bill
Am G F G
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill
(Key change)
[Verse 3]
G#
But then the sad part of the story came
C# G#
When Bill just seemed to lose his love for me
G#
And when he left me the effect on me
C# G#
Was plain enough for anyone to see
D# C#
But then when everybody asked me what was on my mind
G#
I shyly answered them
C# D#
I said it's not a great big problem
C# D# G#
But I will admit the problem's partly him
A#m G# F# G#
Partly him (partly him) partly Bill
(Key change)
[Verse 4]
A
Now here I am and everybody thinks
D A
I'm all alone with no one to call mine
A
But I don't feel my life is empty
D A
All I need is just the passing of some time
E
I've got a special feeling deep inside me
D A
Telling me that he is with me still
D E
And when the baby grows up strong and tall
D
I'll tell them all
E A
That he is partly Bill
Bm A G A
Partly Bill (partly Bill) partly Bill
