[Intro]
D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD   G/AG/A

G/AG/A          D MajorD G+G
Did you see our brother
    Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA
He was here the other day
    F# minorF#m     B minorBm       E minorEm
But he only came to say that he was leaving
    A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G
Did you see his lady
    Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA
She was looking where he'd gone
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm       E minorEm
But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving
A augmentedA       D MajorD
She's bound to go
 G+G                   A augmentedA           D MajorD
Perhaps she'll find him waiting for some boat in some city far away
A augmentedA       G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm  D MajorD
She's bound to go

Asus4Asus4    D MajorD  G+G    Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA
Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine
     F# minorF#m       B minorBm         E minorEm
There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
A augmentedA            D MajorD  G+G
And long ago he told me
    Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA     F# minorF#m      B minorBm       E minorEm
That he wanted just to be on his way across some sea no man can measure
A augmentedA      D MajorD
He won't be back,
    G+G                A augmentedA           D MajorD
And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
A augmentedA      G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm  D MajorD
He won't be back

G+G                       D MajorD
Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
     Asus4Asus4
I heard a rumbling
G+G                  D MajorD
Early today the mechanical city was waking
       Asus4Asus4
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling
Asus4Asus4                   D MajorD  A augmentedA
Out through the laughter of children and dogs

Asus4Asus4 D MajorD  G+G    Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA
Do you know the man.
 F# minorF#m  B minorBm         E minorEm
Yes he lives upon the hill.
       F# minorF#m       B minorBm        E minorEm
And they say haunted voices fill his head with warnings.
AsusAsus     D MajorD       AsusAsus
Saying to a shadow, that the time is drawing near.
     F# minorF#m                 E minorEm
When the world must disappear, one of these mornings.
A augmentedA      D MajorD
Maybe he'll go.

G+G                  A augmentedA               D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Perhaps he'll take his shadow and be off to find his brother far away.
A augmentedA      G+G D MajorD
Maybe he'll go.

  G+G                     D MajorD
Early today, as my friend the policeman was sneering.
      AsusAsus
I heard a rumbling.
G+G                     D MajorD
Early today as the men of my office were leering.
       AsusAsus
I ran out stumbling, mumbling,
Asus4Asus4                   D MajorD  A augmentedA
Out through the laughter of children and dogs.

A augmentedA        D MajorD   G+G
Did you see our brother
    Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA
He was here the other day
    F# minorF#m     B minorBm        E minorEm
But he only came to say that he can't breathe here
    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Did you see his lady
    Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA
She was reaching for his hand
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm         E minorEm
Just as if to tell her man that she can't either
A augmentedA        D MajorD
They're bound to go
    G+G               A augmentedA              D MajorD
And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
A augmentedA      G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD
