In this dead c F alm beneath the wav Ab es
I can still Am7 hear those l Am7/D ost boys G calling
You could not C speak
You were afr F aid
G Ab* Am7
To take the risk of being left again
And so you G tipped your hat an Am7 d waved an G d then
Dm You turned back up the gangway of that G steel tomb again
CHORUS (2x, 2nd time with she holds and we)
And in C Mott Street in F July
When I Dm7 hear those seabirds G7 cry
I F hold the Em7 child, the Am7 child in the F man
The G7 child that we G/B leave be C hind
The spotlight C fades
The boys dis F band,
the G final notes lie mute upon the C sand
F Ab*
And in the silence of the grave
I can still he Am7 ar those lost b D/Am7 oys callin G g
We left them C there
When they were F young
The G men were gone until the west was C won
F Ab*
And now there's nothing left but time to kill
You never Am7 took us D/Am7 fishing dad
And G now you never will
CHORUS I
Notes:
1. Not sure about the Ab as a single note, but I can't figure out a chord here. I tried
F/Ab, but it didn't sound right. Any suggestions or corrections, please email the
cowboy at yahoo. (Delete the spaces.)
2. Not sure about the G/B either.
3. I also had a bit of trouble with the "and so you tipped your hat and waved" line. I'm
sure that what I have is correct, but would welcome suggestions.
