        Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw


   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)
