From "The Flying Burrito Bros" album - 1971



{Verse 1}
    D
All alone
A                D       A
She waits at the window
          D
While the sun
A           D   A
Sets in the sea
Bm          A
Is that the sound of his footsteps
     G             A
That echoes in the hall
Bm            A
And then they fade away
      G                A
No it wasn't him after all
       D
He was gone
A            D        A
In the early morning
D

And he said
A              D   A
He wouldn't be long
Bm           A
But that was spring
                 G                      A
And now that the leaves have all turned brown
Bm       A
She only shares her bed
         G                 A
With the lonliness she has found

Instrumental:
E Asus A  E  Asus A   F   G   A  A7

Verse 2:
A         D
Still she waits
A            D       A
Alone at the window
        D
For the one
A            D    A
Who wandered away
Bm           A
Each day the room grows colder
    G                    A
Her tears grow harder to hold
Bm            A
And still she saves her love
        G                        A
For the day she knows he'll come home

Instrumental:
D  A   D  A    D  A    D  A

Outro:
Bm          A
Is that the sound of his footsteps
     G             A
That echoes in the hall
Bm            A
And then they fade away
      G                A
No it wasn't him after all
