The saddest song - Dough Ashdown


Intro:
Fi ?  Emi ?  Dmi -  C majorC ?  G+G -


C majorC     E minorEm            A minorAm
  And the   papers got wet in the   morning rain
Am/GAm/G
   And the birds came
FF           G+G       C majorC    (G+G)
  And Friday started   early that   day

C majorC          E minorEm
  Mr. Albert Allow   Wishes Jones
A minorAm            Am/GAm/G
  Rubbed the sleep out    of his bones
FF
  Ate his toast and spoke her name
FF
  His feet went of to find a train
Cmaj7Cmaj7
    Same old way

     Am7Am7 /
And his    hand reached out to catch it?s pay
            Am7Am7 /
And there was much he    didn?t know about his life/
   Fmaj7Fmaj7 /
The     girl who typed his letters
      Fmaj7Fmaj7 /
Loved him     better
     Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Than his     wife


Chorus:
    C majorC          E minorEm
And he  couldn?t hear the   song
      A minorAm      A minorAm
The chil -   dren sang
    C majorC          E minorEm
And he   wouldn?t see the   trees
   A augmentedA         A7A7
Be -   hind the wall
    DmDm         C#C#+
And he   didn?t hear the    melody
F/CF/C               G+G
   The bells played when they   rang
     C majorC    C/Bb      FF      G+G
For the   city    sang the   saddest  song of
Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7 -  Cmaj7Cmaj7 -  Fmaj7Fmaj7
    All

Inter:
A minorAm
  And mrs. Milly jones arose
G minorGm
  And ran a comb around her curls
A minorAm
  And did the washing and the ironing
     G minorGm
For three   dirty little girls

     B minorBm
And her   body glowed as she recalled
     A minorAm
That the   man who sold the milk
B minorBm
  Still thought her young and sweet enough
       A minorAm
To say that   it was made of silk

     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7            C7C7
And she     smiled as she re ?    membered
     Fmaj7Fmaj7
All the     things about his touch
     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7           C7C7
And she     wondered how a man   like that
Fmaj7Fmaj7
    Could make her feel so much
A minorAm
  And then she cooked the diner
Am/GAm/G           D7/F#D7/F#
   For a sad and ti ?     red ?n old breadwinner


Chorus:
     C majorC           E minorEm
And she   couldn?t hear the   song
      A minorAm       A minorAm
The chil -   dren sang
     C majorC          E minorEm
And she   wouldn?t see the   trees
   A7A7         A7A7
Be ?   hind the wall
     DmDm          C#C#+
And she   didn?t hear the    melody
F/CF/C               G+G
   The bells played when they   rang
     C majorC    C/Bb      FF      G+G
For the   city    sang the   saddest   song of
Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7    Cmaj7Cmaj7 -  Fmaj7Fmaj7
    Aa -     ll


C majorC              E minorEm
  And the Jones?s leaves   were in a pile
A minorAm              Am/GAm/G -
  And their children smiled
FF           G7G7         C majorC    (G+G)
  And brought them   breakfast on a   tray

C majorC        E minorEm
  And Mr. And   Mrs. Jones
A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
  Rubbed the sleep    out of their bones
FF           Fmaj7Fmaj7
  Took the food and     said ?thank you?
        Fmaj7Fmaj7
And then they     wondered what to do with the
Cmaj7Cmaj7
    Saturday
     Fmaj7Fmaj7 /
And her     hand reached out to catch his pay

And as he gave
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
He     smiled and called her ?mother?
               Fmaj7Fmaj7 /
And she spent some u - pon a     child
            Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the rest upon her     lo -     ver


Chorus:
     C majorC           E minorEm
And they   couldn?t hear the   song
      A minorAm      A minorAm
The chil -   dren sang
     C majorC          E minorEm
And they   wouldn?t see the   trees
    A7A7         A7A7
Be ?    hind the wall
     DmDm         C#C#+
And they   never hear the    melody
F/CF/C               G+G
   The bells played when they   rang
     C majorC     C/Bb      FF      G+G
For the   city    sang the   saddest   song
   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Of     all, of
Fmaj7Fmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7    Fmaj7Fmaj7
    Aa ?     aa ?     ll
