E B
To work like the devil for Your pay
C#m A
Was the old song that He used to sing
E
Before the waking hours
B E A E
Rolled out across the open ground
E B
Now I see Him through the window at a table
C#m A
Drinking His coffee and talking about the days
E
Before the time that We knew
B A E
Would not return to this old town
F#m A B E
He's waiting for somebody else to save His day
F#m A B
Or at least to see some light before
F#m A E A E
It fades away..... Yeah, yeah
E B
To choose no companion It fell right in line
C#m A
With all the others she had known had laid by His side
E
Before the sleepless morning
B E A E
Showed its face without a sound. Without a sound
E B
Now where did the time go all these years
C#m A
After the pictures had been burned And the names have all been cleared
E
From all that She remembers
B A
It adds up in time To not a thing,
E
No not a thing
F#m A B E
She's waiting for somebody else to save Her day
F#m A B
Or at least to see His face before
F#m A E A E
He goes away...... Yeah,yeah, Oh yeah
F#m A E A E
Before He goes away...... Oh.Yeah,Yeah,yeah,
F#m A
Before He goes away......
F#m
Before He goes away
A
She just wants to see His face before He goes away
F#m
Before He goes away (Repeat to fade)
